So I am looking at the calendar on my desk and it is telling me it is 01/11/10.  This number fascinated me because it is a palindrome meaning it is the same backwards and forwards.  After staring at it a bit more, I realized it was composed of only 1s and 0s which means it could also be construed as a binary representation.  So I wish you all a very happy 0x1e day.  I am sure this will happen somewhat frequently in the next two years or so, but it was the first realization of the phenomenon for me.

I really am not sure hot to exploit this, but rather something that sparked my curiosity. I also noticed that this particular palindrome date would occur on 01 November 2010 for those not using the American date convention.
