.Binary Day
The following is an excerpt from an ezine by internet marketing expert Bob Jenkins (a/k/a Bob The Teacher), which I share with you just for the geeky fun of it!
You may have already figured out that I am a nerd,
and I never hide that. 
So it’s with great pleasure that I bring you some geeked
up information for you today.
First and least importantly, I may be the only one who is
going to tell you this next piece of information…
I’ve decided to call tomorrow Binary Day. And actually,
it’s the first of several binary days in 2010.
What’s a Binary Day?
It’s when the date on the calendar reads like a binary number.
And it’s very rare!
Tomorrow (Jan. 1, 2010) will be 010110 – which translates
to the number 22.
Then later in the month, it will be January 10 – 011010 (26)
and then January 11 – 011110 (30).
We’ll have 6 more in October and November, another
round of 9 in 2011, but not another one again for 100 years!
What does this have to do with business? Absolutely
nothing.
Although if I thought about it harder, I could remind you that
binary is what computer code is based on; or that binary is a
representation of whether things are simply ON or OFF.
And you need to make sure you’re ON track.
But that would be lame, so I won’t do that.
So just chalk Binary Day up to a bit of trivia to brighten
your day.
If you’d like to read more of his informative and entertaining blog, which I highly recommend, you can do so here. I’ll leave you today with this old but still amusing joke:
“There are 10 types of people in this world – those that
understand binary, and those that don’t.”
Very Nice Website! I just found it on Google! Thanks for Sharing!
i am constantly roaming throughout the internet virtually all of the working day and so I have a tendency to browse an awful lot, which is not generally a good factor as nearly all of the web pages I discover are constructed of worthless rubbish copied from some other web pages a zillion times, nonetheless I have to give you credit this site is in truth readable and provides some unique content, so many thanks for removing the pattern of simply replicating other folks’ websites, if you ever wanna play a couple of hands of myspace poker with me just gimme a shout – you have my e-mail
Hi
I am so glad you brought this up. Last night I couldn’t sleep thinking of the binary days. I had a similar crisis in 1999, with the 9th of September (at 9am). And in 1989 at 23.45 6 July.
And here you are thinking the same thing! Binary days are way special.
Only another 4 days …
