Today is my birthday and I'm "OK." The finger counting way to do 28 in binary is shown above, it's the same as the OK sign. :)
My family always talks about binary on birthdays because we often do the candles that way. It's a good way of saving candles and fire hazards! :) Yesterday we celebrated with many people at my house. I think I had all 28 candles on my cake, but I blew them out all with one blow.
If you're curious, 28 in binary is 00111. (If you were to do the candles in binary, you put 5 candles on the cake but only light the last three.)
1 2 4 8 16
0 0 1 1 1
(16 + 8 + 4 = 28)

Happy Birthday Heather!
Love, Mom
uhhh...Heather, you and your family are a bunch of math geeks. I have no idea what you're talking about. Binary? I thought that was a type of bird...no? Is it a combination bookstore and library? Is it a place where books are bound? Huh? Try not to make me feel stupid with your blog, okay?
Happy birthday! I hope it was a good one!
Happy, Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great 28! Your binary birthday sounds like fun!
