Hello? Is... is this thing on? The red light means it's on, right? Or do I... I have to push a button, don't I? Well, which one? There's like ten! The black one? They're all black!

    Motorboard hats look really stupid.

    I got a reminder of that on Thursday, when I officially graduated from York University. But, as I was walking back to the car with my family, BSc in hand, I realized something. Maybe they're supposed to look stupid. Because I was wearing the bloody thing with pride. And if I was wearing something that stupid with pride, then I had to be really proud of myself.

    I don't know how many of you have been following the New Horizons mission...

    ... but I have. And the stuff it's sending back is super exciting.

    Please excuse me while I giggle like a schoolgirl.

    Time to celebrate all things circular again.

    And today's a very special pi day indeed. On a related note, I'm attempting to post this as close to 9:26 and 53 seconds as I can.

    So, yeah. Grab some pie, doodle some circles, calculate the radius of the universe or something. The sky's the limit on pi day.

    Today's a special day.

    Because starting today, I can go waltz across the border into the United States, walk into the first bar I see, sit down, and order a beer. And nobody will be able to do anything about it.

    Then I'll stare at said beer awkwardly after remembering that I hate beer and don't drink. And then quietly ask for a virgin screwdriver or something.

I know what you're thinking right now. "FNaN, what the hell? Why don't you just do a blog post announcing nice, round numbers?"

I could, but where's the fun in that? It's so much more fun announcing whenever I reach another power of two. Besides, it means that I can brag about having 100000000 followers. (Those that understand binary will get it.)

In any case, it now takes a full nine bits to compute the number of followers I have, or 1.125 bytes. At this stage, I'm a mere 2 bits behind good ol' Bronius. So take that, you American... guy! I'm catching up!

... Reading back on this, I'm beginning to think I have too much science in my brain. (Sigh)

All your talk of bits and bytes got me thinking of this ornery old piece of Canadian cartoon history...

Congratulations of the followers achievement, unconventional milestone as it is.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is creative or immensely nerdy. Either way, congrats! :raritywink:

480301 The latter. Definitely the latter.

There are only 10 kinds of people in this world.
Unicorn-, pegasus- and earth ponies.

No, wait. I think I mixed that up a bit. :derpytongue2:

>I know what you're thinking right now. "FNaN, what the hell? Why don't you just do a blog post announcing nice, round numbers?"
Actually, I was thinking "I love powers of 2" :moustache:

I feel so glad to contribute to your binary value of stalkers. Even though I never really read anything you release :liarjackneeded:
Come to think of it.... why did I follow you in the first place? Oh yah! you have a great writing style and sense of humor, not to mention you actually use the blog feature! Bring me more joy in the written format and I may consider complimenting you more :pinkiehappy:

Too much science? Not possible!

:rainbowlaugh:

Congrats though! Soon you'll be able to afford a cherry! :trollestia:

just wait until Follower #1024!
