Friday, Feb 13 at exactly 3:31:30 PM (PST) will equal 1234567890 in Unix Time where according to Wikipedia Unix Time is

"Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing points in time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. It is widely used not only on Unix-like operating systems but also in many other computing systems. It is neither a linear representation of time nor a true representation of UTC (though it is frequently mistaken for both) as the times it represents are UTC but it has no way of representing UTC leap seconds (e.g. 1998-12-31 23:59:60)."

So in many ways it is as Prince would say "Party Like it is 1999" but for Tech Geeks

The Unix time stamp calculates the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970. Using this simple string helps programmers easily perform date and time computations in their code. This Friday the 13th (spooky!) will see a very special moment in arbitrary number history: about halfway through the minute at 3:31pm PST (6:31pm EST), exactly 1,234,567,890 seconds will have passed since the beginning of UTC. It’s a totally pointless but fun little reason to celebrate, like the calendar Year 2000 but on a much smaller scale.
