Since my blog has hit 100 page views, I am going to do a binary special!
If you convert "John" into binary code and then back into base ten, you get '74 111 104 110', or '1,248,815,214' without letter spacing.
Some people actually get in trouble for copying distribution codes (in binary) and converting them into regular letters in order to redistribute them–– so technically, they're illegal!!!
2^x binary codes can be made x bits (binary digits) long, because there are two digit options per bit.
There are 3 main bases in the number system: binary (base 2), decimal (base 10), and hexadecimal (base 16). Hexadecimal is used to express binary numbers up to 4 bits long.

Math is Fun is a cool website to find stuff like this on
Sorry about subscribing issues, I'll try to fix that. Thanks to my sole follower, Ben K., for finding a way around that. See ya.
Stay coolio,
John
