10:45 a.m. Join up with the rest of my ersatz numerologists and palindromists in filling the blogosphere with arcane stories revolving the importance of 11/11/11 11:11 a.m.
10:48 a.m. Receive message on my desktop indicating I have 8% power remaining. If only it had been 11%. That would have been way more insightful.

10:50 a.m. Set alarm on iPhone for 11:11a.m.
10:55 a.m. Check email, voice mail and snail mail. Just kidding about snail mail. But it starts me thinking about the post office.

Kind of like a post apocalyptic, post apocryphal story of life post the post office. Decided to stop posting my thoughts.
11:01 a.m. All ones and one zero. Cool.
11:02 a.m. Cranked up my This is Spinal Tap album to 11.
