1111.

This is post #1111 for me.  Here, you can see what my blog’s admin page showed right before I decided to post.  And 11:11 was actually on my mind at the time.

I’ve written about 11:11 before; I’ve even started an 11:11 niche site to have a place for people to discuss.  I’ve got another little hunch about 11:11.  Read on.

Not too long ago, I was listening to George Noory on Coast to Coast, one of my favorite favorite radio shows.

Sometimes I just listen to pass the time.  Other times, however, I end up altering my schedule for whatever I was doing because I don’t want to get out of the car while the show is on.  Some of the shows are that intriguing.

On one of these type of nights, I went to Wal*Mart.  Unfortunately, neither the Blackberry nor the iPhone has AM radio (the Zune has FM radio, which is close but doesn’t help), so I couldn’t take the show with me while I shopped.  So I called my wife and said I’d be taking a little longer than usual because I was really digging this show.

In the show, the guest was talking about a special visor they had made.  This visor was able to open and close a shutter of sorts (maybe a see-through lcd panel?) at high frequencies.  You could hook it up with a USB cord to a laptop and the software would control the rate of speed.

You know how you can see a wagon wheel on tv and it looks like it’s moving backwards?  Or if you take a picture of a clock every 59 seconds and then replay all your pictures into a movie, the clock is moving forward in reality but looks like it’s moving backwards in the movie?  

This animated GIF demonstrates the wagon-wheel effect.
The “camera” constantly accelerates toward the right
at the same rate with the objects sliding to the left.
Halfway through the 24-second loop, the objects
appear to suddenly shift and head backwards.
(From Wikipedia)

Well, this visor can display normal reality but it changes your “frame rate” for lack of a better term, to different frequencies.  On the show, they were talking about the various frequencies that would sometimes produce ghost-like images or other people / entities in the room.  One was 100hertz I think, and maybe 110 hertz.  I can’t find the show online and I don’t remember exactly.

I predict that “1111″ will be a frequency at which we can use a visor like this to detect signals, information and maybe other beings.

And it will happen November 11th, 2011 on or about 11:11 GMT.

Who remembers the Sesame Street song of a similar bent?

AKA the “pinball countdown”.

Ahh, memories.

And we’ll all remember today, Friday the 13th [ooooooh!] as the day that Unix time hit a very recognizable number.  At 6:31:30 pm today, something called “unix time” (aka localtime) will be exactly 1234567890.

What is unix time, you ask?  Unix time is something used by some computers for easier calculation of time.  The quick explanation is that it represents the number of seconds since something ominous called the “epoch”, which is January 1st, 1970.  Computers are very good at these kinds of calculations for some reason, and for another unknown reason they’re horrible at calculating the next set of winning lottery numbers.

For me, this is like 1:23:45 on 6/7/89 or 12:34:56 on 7/8/90 (or 07/08/09, this year) or 08/09/10 at 11:12:13.  It’s also similar to 11:11 in that it’s made up of abritrary numbers that may or may not be in a row.  I love seeing patterns like these!

Do you see any patterns that excite you?  I mean other than my chronological posting of blog entries.

Note: I tried switching to Vimeo for my videos, but I’ve run into a number of failed attempts today and it’s been sitting at YouTube for hours. So if the upload finishes and the conversion is successful, I’ll add the vimeo embed here but for now I’m sick of waiting.
UPDATE: Vimeo finally finished updating, so I’m changing the page to display that by default instead.

My blog posts this past week averaged a lot lower in quantity, but seemed to have grown in volume on a per-post basis.  I think I should probably find a middle ground – slightly more often in frequency and slightly shorter in length.  Kind of like how I’d like Don’t Forget The Lyrics if I could make it perfect for me.

Speaking of, if any of you can get me on that show, I’d be forever grateful!  Besides, I think it’s time Wayne Brady had another Wayne to talk to.  Can’t never get enough Wayne, you know.

Reminds me of that CCR song, Who’ll Stop The Wayne? (and I wonder, still I wonder…)

Subluxing of Vertebrae

Can’t say much about this except – you don’t want it.  The “crick” in my neck from this morning has been treated twice so far today and all I can think about is how glad I am my mother-in-law is a physical therapist and is nearby.  She’s gotten the knot out twice already and it still hurts and I can’t imagine how bad it’d be if I didn’t have help close by.  I can’t turn my head to the left hardly at all, or tilt it to the left, or crane it over to the left if some hot chick walks by.  Do you KNOW how HELPLESS that makes me FEEL!?!?!?!

Paul-itics

Seeing as how McCain has pretty much wrapped up the Republican nomination and Obama beat Clinton recently (so much so that Clinton fired her whatsit to get a new whosit), and Ron Paul has mostly given up, maybe Ron Paul can be McCain’s VP?

Or maybe they should get one of those Brangelina or TomKat names and be called McPaul?  Or go after the heavy crowd and run as Ronald McCainold?

I can see their campaign slogan now:

You’re Never Too Old for Rock and Roll

Or maybe they should make a YouTube movie and call it

Old and Older

Best of LOLcats

And if you’re done crying over the last segment, now you can cry over this segment (in a good way).

Stay tuned tomorrow for I shall reveal who won the big contest… (I still haven’t done the work yet, but I do have the chart, and YES, 11:11 popped up again in my life as the time I asked the horary question.)
