The #4

Hi All,

Four - a nice, even number. A multiple of 2, a divisor of 8 and 16...it has lots of significance - with respect to sports, mathematics, computers and in many other subjects. I'll talk about these various meanings in this blog entry...

Four...
'four balls' and you get a walk - you get a free pass to first base...

Foursquare - helps users meet up with friends nearby, keep up with friends around the world, and share experiences through photos and comments - great for figuring out what and where friends are...

NBC 4 - television station in the New York City metro area (Long Island, New York City, parts of New Jersey and Connecticut)

Wikipedia entry for the number 4 - the entry has the meaning for the number four in science (astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics), logic/philosophy, technology, transportation, music and has external links.

Who would have thought there is so much symbolism and meaning to the number four? Go figure!

Regards,
Stu
