Virtues of Base 2. I'll
Virtues of Base 2. I'll be turning 2^5 (i.e. 2 raised to the 5th or 32) later this year. In our base 10 world, turning 32 is not one of the
biggies.
Using base 10 to determine when these biggies occur means we have an
age crisis every ten years. I decided today that forevermore, my age
milestones will be base 2. Hence, I won't have to worry about a biggy
birthday again till I'm 2^6. This is the first of the
Virtues of Base 2. Are there more? Only time will tell. If you have another, let
me know.
