when the numbers work out

[adelaidesean]

Room number in Denver = 2305 = my birthday + all sorts of Robert Anton Wilson references

Visitor badge at NORAD = 66 = one digit short of the Beast + first two digits of my postal address + last two digits of my mobile number

I don't know why stuff like this pleases me so much. I mean, I know it doesn't signify anything real, but still I feel a kind of glee. Could it be a wiring problem? Or is it found art for maths nerds?

(The street address of my home is 3 to the 3rd power = the number of books I have in print as of today.)

Ha! Indeed. :-) How often do texual palindromes appear in the wild? I'll be looking out for them now...

Next year I expect to celebrate my 30th novel in print at the same time as my 20th anniversary of considering myself a writer and my 10th year since going full-time. It's a shame 2009 doesn't really add up to anything, apart from that. (Or does it?)

2009 doesn't need to add up to anything - literally - as zero is the next number in your descending sequence.

Mind you, if you follow my line of thought, thinking about the number after zero becomes kinda scary.

Hmm. Good point. Maybe the sequence will bounce back when it hits the X axis.
