Here we are: the fall of 2021 and my final quarter at Oregon State University. Since I’d rather not write a boring retrospective on how much I’ve learned & grown (yawn — call me when somebody learns how to un-grow), and since the class this blog is named for is still in the process of kicking off, I’m going to use my first post as an opportunity to talk about a topic that interests me: time.
To be specific, I’m going to make this post about Unix time, the coolest, most intuitive, and easiest-to-read form of timekeeping. To be even more specific, this post is about how Unix time will ruin everything and leave us sifting through sand on a barren Earth after it launches the technological apocalypse.
