+Hammertime is the name given to a [Unix time](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) with
+milliseconds. Which is the same as saying the number of milliseconds since 1970. It has
+finer granularity than a normal Unix timestamp and thus is often used in realtime
+applications.
+
+According to startup lore, Hammertime was coined by a startup whose founder had an
+interesting interaction with M.C. Hammer. There was no name given to "Unix time with
+milliseconds" and while brainstorming ideas (because Unix time with milliseconds is
+a confusing mouthful), someone suggested Hammertime and it stuck.
