A few xkcd comics I like

Unix Time
February 13, 2009 at 5:05 pm | Posted in IT Stuff | Leave a commentToday at 3:31, unix time will be 1234567890.
I get a kick out of unix time. I love how it is so absolute and self-contained. Counting, counting, counting forever, never

More than you want to know about unix time is in the wikipedia, of course.
