The Unix Time is Now

almost 4 years ago (Edited)

I came across 'Unix time' and it fascinates me. We see time as seconds, minutes, hours, days etc... But conputer see it in raw seconds. A single point in time! It actually the number of seconds that have elapsed since the start of the 'Unix epoch' (non-geological!), minus leap seconds. The Unix epoch started on 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. The instant that computers started to register time, if you will. cool eh? Well, I thought so :)

I bet there is all kinds of Unix time watches, clocks etc for the wrist and home. How delightfully useless they would be! A quick search revealed this one... kinda trendy... Would you buy as a conversation starter?
