Shameless promotion that it is my birthday today......

Yes, that day has come again. I am now 32 years of age. That seems like a long time I suppose.

I have made 32 round trips around the Sun in my life. With Earth being 93 million miles away from the Sun, I can calculate how far I have traveled in my 32 years. The equation for one year would be 2(Radius)(Pi). So 2 * 93,000,000 * 3.141 = 584,226,000 miles. Taking that yearly number times 32 years means I have traveled 18,695,232,000 miles! Man! That's a lot of traveling. Worse yet, I spent all that time moving around only to find myself right back at the same spot in space that I started at in the first place!

Here's some other information. I have been alive.....

-- 11,688 days.
-- 280,512 hours.
-- 16,830,720 minutes.
-- 1,009,843,200 seconds (that's over one BILLION seconds for you keeping score at home).

That's really a lot of time. It makes everything seem so much worse to think I've been alive over 1 billion seconds. That also means that I'm traveling through space at roughly 18 miles a second! Geez, I thought my 270 HP car went fast! It has nothing on the Earth!
