In order to affirm Mateo’s future geekiness, we will be trying to celebrate his binary days: round numbers of days in the binary numeral system. So, we’ll be celebrating his first, second, fourth, eighth, sixteenth, thirty-second, etc day since birth.
For the coming year, the following are the binary days:
| Power of 2 | Value in Decimal | Value in Binary | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2^0 | 1 | 1 | 12/13/2008 |
| 2^1 | 2 | 10 | 12/14/2008 |
| 2^2 | 4 | 100 | 12/16/2008 |
| 2^3 | 8 | 1000 | 12/20/2008 |
| 2^4 | 16 | 10000 | 12/28/2008 |
| 2^5 | 32 | 100000 | 1/13/2009 |
| 2^6 | 64 | 1000000 | 2/14/2009 |
| 2^7 | 128 | 10000000 | 4/19/2009 |
| 2^8 | 256 | 100000000 | 8/25/2009 |
| 2^9 | 512 | 1000000000 | 5/8/2010 |
If you use iCal or Outlook or something similar, you can even subscribe to the calendar with a list of his binary days.
