HAPPY NEW YEAR! G33k1ng 0ut in 2011

This blog has been somewhat neglected over the past several weeks and for that, I apologize to the 2 or 3 of you who actually read it :) I've been working on a couple of 'Outings' galleries for Nonstop Honolulu (@nonstophonolulu). My first submission chronicled a trip to the Honolulu Zoo and can be seen here. The second, a visit to Otsuji Farm in Hawaii Kai, was posted here. Throw in a few Christmas parades, parties, and the usual hustle and bustle of the holidays and, well, you end up with one blog post for all of December.

Today is a new year. Rather than post a bunch of resolutions that will inevitably be discarded sometime next week, I thought I'd take a slightly different look at 2011. Being that math geek that I am, this tweet by Lance Agena (@lance_agena) got me thinking about the unique date/time permutations we will see this year. We've already missed 01:01:11 on 01/01/11, but mark your calendars for:
· 11:02:03 on 03/02/11
· 06:07:08 on 09/10/11
· 09/10/11 at 12:13:14
· 11:11:11 on 11/11/11
Can you think of any others? Post them as a comment!

If you're looking for even more math awesomeness related to 2011, this tweet by Toby Tamaye (@atmarketing), which apparently originated from Math Prof (@mathematicsprof), is pretty darn cool too.
