Begin the years-count at 1969 CE. The first day of the new year would be called 'Neilsday' and would belong to no week.

My perfect calendar would strip out ever work day ever and only be days for vacation. Big Grin

On a serious note. I would remove AD and use something like either x or s.

I was thinking the Moon landing was a more significant demarcation. Start from the moment Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

To prevent religion from getting out of control?

In the year of our Ford?

Or maybe, Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment?

I'd put year zero at the perihelion of Earth's orbit 11,700 years ago. The beginning of the Holocene epoch. There should be thirteen 28 day months with an extra day added at the end of each year. Add two days for leap years.

I think 1905, the year Einstein published the theory of special relativity would make a good year one.

I like Becc's beginning of the Renaissance though that's hard to date. You could pin it to Erasmus I suppose. Other really important sea change dates occur to me: Newton's death or birth or perhaps publication of Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica; the publication date of Einstein's Theory of Relativity is another possible (I see Faith No More just beat me to this one); the dropping of the first atomic bomb; the inception of the internet.

I love to replace the current year one with the date of Socrates death. And then start the modern era with one of the above dates.
