The last binary day until 2100

As we all are aware, today is a “binary” day: 11/11/11 (or, as they write in Europe, 11/11/11; ahem). Bad Astronomy has a great post concerning this date and why all of us dorks awesome folks think today is cool. As the author points out, “It’s the last binary number this year, and in fact we can’t get another date that looks like a binary number until 01/01/00, or January 1, 2100! That’s the first day of the last year of the 21st century. It’s a long wait.”
