Outed

I had originally planned to keep my turning 1E (Hex) tomorrow quiet; well as quiet as possible anyhow. I'm still a teen by some standards (we aren't discussing my mental capacity, that's still in the single digits).

It seems however that my older and sometimes wiser brother and the queen of feistiness have ensured this special day doesn't pass without recognition. So yes for all of you who feel the ominous overtones of tomorrow 'tis nothing to worry about it's just me turning 00011110 (Binary).

Yes I am vain enough that I would make you click this link to determine my age if you aren't sure what the conversions are.

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: There are 10 types of people in this world, those who can read binary and those who can't.

Well, as someone in our clan once said, "having another birthday isn't that bad, once you consider the alternative..."
