Oct. 10 - Max and the Meaning of Life

Today is Max's official due date, October, 10th, 2010. Max is also two weeks old and at home today (thank you Jesus). Allison and I always enjoyed the idea (though never expected him to make it) of Max's birthday being 10/10/10. It is a cool date. I found a web article on a blog I follow however, that suggests that todays date should have a little more significance. The author suggests that we should use today to contemplate the meaning of life. Here is how the logic goes.

Today is 10/10/10. If you take a moment to think about it, you can realize that 101010 is a valid binary number. If you convert 101010 from binary back into base 10 (which is what we normally count in), you will discover that it is the number 42. As everyone knows (don't believe me, Google It), the number 42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Therefore, today is a good day to ponder the meaning of life.

For a topic a little more on subject, Max and Colin both are doing great. Colin has taken to Max like they have been buds for years. Max is doing everything a newborn should be doing, including keeping us up at night. I don't think I'll ever complain about that again (Max not waking up at night was our first clue that something was wrong). Allison is recovering very well from her surgery, and we are settling into our house as fast as possible. Last night was our 8th night to sleep at our house, even though we have had it since the 15th of September. It has been a crazy several weeks.

Is pointless geek knowledge fun? Of course! :) Glad Max is feeling better.
