Today we\u00b4ve had a double celebration at home: my birthday and Mother\u00b4s day, which here in Ireland is held on the fourth Sunday in Lent. It\u00b4s been a lovely day (thanks a million guys!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Close<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How old am I now, you say? Weeeell, they say age is just a number, right? Following this blog\u00b4s tradition<\/a> , I\u00b4ll write it in binary: 101110<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of numbers, BinaryWords is also celebrating today: this is the 150th post! Feel free to take this opportunity and visit the blog\u00b4s archive page<\/a>, to check out the new \"highlighted articles\" section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I was reflecting on this thing we have with numbers, and how sometimes we pay too much attention to them, age being just an example, and I remembered a passage from The Little Prince<\/em> that speaks about that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If I\u00b4ve told you these details about Asteroid B-612 and if I\u00b4ve given you its number, it is on account of the grown-ups. Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: \"What does his voice sound like?\" \"What games does he like best?\" \"Does he collect butterflies?\" They ask: \"How old is he?\" \"How many brothers does he have?\" \"How much does he weigh?\" \"How much money does his father make?\" Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, \"I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...\" they won\u00b4t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, \"I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs.\" Then they exclaim, \"What a pretty house!\" <\/em><\/p>\nAntoine the Saint-Exup\u00e9ry<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What about you? How much do you care about numbers? I\u00b4ve realized I care about them less and less...<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
