Friday Fragments!

Happy 11-11-11 everyone!  Stop back by for my Remembrance Day/Veterans Day post that will go live at 11:11 AM EST


Speaking of 11-11-11 Today is the very last official binary date (ones and zeroes only in a MM/DD/YY configuration) of this century ... hoping I'll be around in 2100 to see the next one!


Another interesting fact for my numerically interesting friends...
The number eleven has a special characteristic in mathematics where it is the sixth prime number. It contains some interesting peculiarities where the number eleven times itself equals a palindrome:
    (2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121 (6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321 (9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
There is only one more auspicious date left in this century... 12/12/12... have you already made plans?


Do you have any specific plans for today?


I want to shout out again to all of my wonderful GFC fans - I hit and quickly surpassed the 4000 follower milestone this week and hope to cruise all the way to 5000 soon!


I'm not that far from hitting the 5000 mark on twitter either (only need 365 more!)... and as soon as that happens, I'll have another great giveaway!


If you haven't had a chance to peruse my giveaways lately - you should... lots of great prizes including CASH!  GIFT CERTIFICATES and More - Just scroll back up to the top of the page and see what's current!


Okay, I'm all fragged out... so head on over to Mrs. 4444's place and see what other wonderful fragments there are:

Just followed you on twitter. I assumed I was already following you, but I wasn't.

I had not thought about 11/11/11 being the very last binary date, but I sure have enjoyed typing it and writing it a lot today! ;) Congrats on your latest follower milestone!

I love today's date, but my favorite thing this year was that my sister's birthday was a true palindrome - 11/02/2011! Very cool.

I think if you played around with the numbers you might find a few other auspicious ones.
How about 02/22/20

Well that is something new. I was wondering what was special about 11-11-11
