Six Bits

In a little over a month I’ll be 32.  I’m going to get geeky on you here, for a second (quite frankly, if you’re reading the blog you should probably just get used to that right now) – 32 is a number that cannot be represented in less than 6 bits [1].  That’s the reason for the title of this blog [2].  Technically speaking 31 (current age) fits into 6 bits, so that’s ok, and if I’m still blogging at age 64 (7 bits) then we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

A bit about me.  At the time of this entry I am 31 years old (this should be apparent by now).  I have a wonderful wife (Ashleigh) who I have been together with for 9 years and married to for 3.  I have an amazing daughter (Savannah) who is 17 months old and astounds me every day with how quickly she is growing and the things she’s learning.  I am a software engineer and improv comic.

That’s enough background, now we can talk about the purpose of this blog.  It doesn’t really have one – I just want a place to dump my thoughts on all things software, improv and parenthood related.  I may throw some occasional TV, movie or book reviews in there from time to time, as well.  Hopefully whatever I write will be entertaining, but, if not, it’s not like you’re out anything but your time.

That’s enough blogging for now, next time I’ll try to write something that’s actually interesting.

[2] I thought about calling the blog “$0.75 Blog” but I didn’t think anyone would get the joke. [3]
