An old joke goes like this: “There are only 10 people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don’t”.

The date of today is quite special. If you think Halley’s comet is rare with its appearance once every 76th year, this day is something extra. Adolphson & Falk wrote the song “10010” in 1984, which is close but no cigar.

On the other hand, dates are theoretical constructs by humans. It’s not like every tree on the planet turns pink today. But still, I think it’s cool. I wonder how many children will have this epic birth date? And just look at that beautiful URL up there!
