Today is 09/09/09. After reading several news articles, Weblog entries and tweets, I realize that the month September has 9 letters and the day Wednesday has 9 letters. Strangely, 09/09/09 is the 252nd day of the year. If you add 2+5+2, the end result equals equals 9 — as in 09/09/09.
What’s even weirder that 09/09/09 is Apple’s big announcement of the latest iTunes 9 update and iPhone OS Update 3.1 update, both of which have prompted many Appleheads (Apple users) around the world to download the long-awaited updates. As a result, accessing ISPs in certain areas around the globe is very slow tonight because everyone is simultaneously downloading the updates.
