I love numbers. Consider it one of my weird predilections. I’m in Room 214 in a hotel in Fairbanks, Alaska tonight. When I told Amy my room number, she said “what a great number.” The reasons are:
- 21 is the first two digits
- 14 is the second two digits
- 7 is the sum of all three digits
- 2/14 is valentines day
Yes – I know we are a strange, bizarre, and twisted couple. But – isn’t that what makes it fun?

"21 is the first two digits
14 is the second two digits"
In the interests of good grammar, shouldn't your post read:-
21 are the first two digits
14 are the second two digits ?

Funny, Nick got his locker combination yesterday:
48-36-0
I thought that was a pretty cool combo. 4x12, 3x12 and 0. I guess 48-36-12 may have been better or 48-36-24 would have been really cool ... but it felt like good number karma to me.
I spend too much of my time on the highway playing with the numbers in the license plates on the cars ahead of me.
You could also add that 21 minus 14 equals 7 and that 21 and 14 are multiples of 7.
Adding to the 7 loveliness, 21 and 14 are both multiples of 7. My mother loved the number 7, so rather than planning a bash for her fiftieth, did it a year earlier for a 7 times 7 party.
And before Mike jumps in and corrects me, yes, I should have spelled each of those sevens out, rather than including the digit. :)
Brad Feld = Nerd to the 214th power.
it's a 3 digit number that can, through addition, "count" to 7.
1
2
3=2+1
4
5=4+1
6=4+2
7=4+2+1
I thought I'd post comment #7 for more fun.
How appropriate Brad as I run a company called
Room 214 and I subscribe to your blog. Hmmm.
The origins of Room 214 are a story for another time.
