Let Us Eat (Unix) Cake

It’s cold and rainy today in Irvine, but that didn’t stop the dedicated Socialcast team from celebrating a once in a lifetime event – 1234567890.

As I write this post, we’re all enjoying some chocolate goodness to commemorate Sequential Epoch Time – exactly 1234567890 seconds from the birth of Unix on January 1, 1970. It was a brief celebration – one second, to be exact – but the anticipation for the event lasted all day.

Thanks to Sean for bringing in the customized cake, and for keeping us informed of how much more time we had until we could cut it. And, thanks to the grocery store cake girl who, without question, wrote out 1234567890 in perfectly neat little red numbers.

On a side note, it’s ironic that none of the Socialcast team members were even around in 1970…
