I was wondering when this one would come up :)
Since the Yahoo days I've been building tiny third-party JavaScript widgets and I always use 8675309 for my starting z-index -- see https://github.com/pinterest/widgets/blob/master/pinit_main.js for one -- just in case the page has a bunch of things stacked up tall.
Documented here, and (of course) blamed on Pinterest, which RUINS EVERYTHING. :)

1978
This was an assigned PIN for a debit card at some point. I have no association with the year 1978, but the way I remembered it was from this Lucero song that goes "you were mine... 1979" – but then, minus one.
Brains are weird.

Speaking of Pinterest, and since I don't do Twitter anymore and can't pester you there: I am gonna continue marking every autoplay video as "blurry/low-res" until Pinterest gives me a preferences settings that says "no animations."
(It is an accessibility issue: many people find it difficult or impossible to concentrate on text while there is motion in their field of vision. I am one of those people, and I have discovered that it gets worse with age.) (I mean, let's be honest, what doesn't?)
313. I had a high school math teacher who maintained that 313 is "the most common of the uncommon three-digit numbers," which seems unscientific but I like it.

It was my flag football jersey number, which I chose because, you know..

Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for the mortal men doomed to die.."

27. The number of dollars my father would bribe me with to do something I didn’t want to do as a kid. It is also my cousin’s birthday, that I appropriated as my personal brand (see email address).

I'm going with 137, which was my friend Charles Richard Lester's domain name for many years. Charles is an accomplished thereminist and collector of vintage vacuum cleaners. Not sure when/why it changed, but he's now at http://www.1377731.com/
Why 137? http://www.1377731.com/137/
54 is my favorite number.
Rodney Rogers’ number, my favorite basketball player of all time. You may remember him for hitting three 3-pointers in nine seconds while playing for the Nuggets.
My birthday is on the 27th. 27 * 2 = 54.
My wife’s number in college was 53. 53 + 1 = 54. I’m the 1 in that equation. My wife thinks this argument is weak and is resentful my favorite number isn’t 53.
And finally, I seem to look at digital clocks when it’s :54 way more than any other time. I’m sure there’s some explanation for this phenomenon.

Ahah I used to look at my watch everyday at 13:37 and 16:20. It was a joke during one week, then I was cursed know when it was 13:37 or 16:20 during 9 months. Maybe there is an explanation.
My favorite numbers are not 1337 or 420 though.
104881304b5e1e89b2ef261d86.
Why that? Because back in the day when wifi security keys had to be 26-digit hexadecimal numbers, that was the randomly-assigned one that my first Netgear router came with. And I must've typed it into a millllllion computers and devices, enough times that it literally planted itself in my hippocampus forevermore.

A high school teacher put that number on the board and told us we had 30 seconds to memorize it. Then she erased it and at the end of class, we had to write it down as we remembered it.
I honestly don't recall if I wrote it correctly then or not, but after she broke it down for us at the end, I've never forgotten it. She removed the commas then grouped the numbers...
1492 - Columbus lands in America 1918 - WWI ended 57 - Heinz 57 advertising slogan 9944 - Ivory Soap advertising (99.44% pure) 5551212 - Directory assistance phone 1812 - The war of 1812
The object of the lesson was on improving retention and memorization skills. It certainly worked for me, at least with that number, as I still recall it decades later.

The number on my mind at the moment is 1999, as in the Prince album.
Specifically the remastered 'Super Deluxe' 10xLP version, with 35 previously unreleased songs, and a concert DVD, and loads of other wonderful bits and bobs. For a long time after he died I couldn't listen to any of my fave albums, but all of a sudden I'm as excited as I was as a 10-year-old spending all my birthday money in Woolworths on Sign o' the Times.
