Warning: Check Your Blood Sugar

This picture is making the rounds in cyberspace. Some things are just so darned cute that we willingly take the risk of diabetic coma. Just as people falling down is always funny, small furry animals are always adorable. It won't do to ponder that this fluff-ball will grow up and eat your kid, or shill for Al Gore.

Welcome to 10/10/10: Today is the Answer

Each 0 or 1 in a binary number corresponds to a power of 2 depending on its position. For the number 101010 this means the 0s and 1s correspond to powers of two, from right to left, as follows: 2 to the zero power, 2 to the first power, two to the second power, and so on.

Rendering the binary 101010 into ordinary base 10 notation is as follows, where x^y means x to the yth power:

101010 -> 1 x 2^5 + 0 x 2^4 + 1 x 2^3 + 0 x 2^2 + 1 x 2^1 + 0 x 2^0 = 42,

or

101010 -> 1 x 32 + 0 x 16 + 1 x 8 + 0 x 4 + 1 x 2 + 0 x 1 = 42,

or

101010 -> 42

101010 (base 2) is 42 (base 10).

Attention:  this is NOT a repeat last Friday.  Actually, I guess it is.

Remember All Those Scrolling Yellow Titles From Star Wars?

Whatever happened to them? Well, now we know.

Panic in the Streets

Welcome to My World

Apocalypse DC

If you know anything about the way our nation's capital copes with snow, then you know that panic has already set in. I, on the other hand, have plenty of firewood, plenty of Cap'n Crunch, and my Jeep parked at the top of the hill (facing downhill, of course).

Incredible. Remarkable. Really Nice.
