I'm a Billion Seconds Old

netmouse's dad told her that she'll be a billion seconds old in August. That means I'll be a billion seconds old sometime in February. I would like to calculate when that would be, so that if scheduling permits I can throw a Billionth-Second party this month. I was born at two in the morning on June 17, 1974. Is there a website that will calculate it for me conveniently?

Billionth Birthsecond Party

Announcement: My LJ friends list is invited to celebrate my Billionth Birthsecond on the evening of Thursday, February 23. The actual billionth second since my birth will have already passed at about four o'clock that morning, so of course we won't be exact. Here's hoping for billlllions and billllllllions more!

It will be at (*Edited to remove my former address. Thanks to everyone who attended!*). Show up around 7:00 PM, or wander in as late as 10:00 PM, and stay until about one in the morning if you feel so inclined. The party will last at least a billion picoseconds. I will provide snacks and drinks. If you bring some food or drinks that would be nice, but don't feel like you have to.
