Here’s a crappy geek cartoon I made on a napkin while I waited for a meeting…

If you don’t get it then out of the 10 types of people there are, you are the type that doesn’t understand binary. (double geek groan pun!)

It the cake was mine I would have allowed only a bit or two!
If someone missed the 10 kinds… here is exact lines which I always have set as note on Office communicator

“There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.”

My son is the type that when he asks for a byte he takes a megabyte.

When it comes to eating binary cake, I am known as “The Formatter” and I like it with graphic ice cream…hehe:)

I go GIG when it comes to cake. Did you know that a “Bundt” cake has a 32 bit circular path?
Best cake is chicken flavored ….

mrsleep January 25, 2008

The cake is a lie!

Dave January 26, 2008

Sadly, I’m the only one geek enough to notice this, but there’s only 01 type of person who doesn’t understand binary. i know you’re trying to run with the joke, but…. wait… gahhhhhhh I’ve become a troll…. oy

Andy Bailey January 26, 2008

eric: surreal and geeky! I love it.

dave: oh noes!

well spotted though, I knew I was opening myself up the ‘high brainers’ when I published this!

Julia January 27, 2008

Aren’t we forgetting something?

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, those who don’t, and those who understand Gray Code.

Andy Bailey January 27, 2008

ah yes, the gray code. it’s simple enough to show this as a gray code generated graph using this gray source:-

1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)

.. awesome don’t you think?

Dave January 28, 2008

Gray code is useless… I mastered it when I was 7. Pretty sure Win3.1 was written with Gray code, now that I think about it…

Andy Bailey January 28, 2008

lol! it’s well known that win3.1 was written in a pseudo gray code interpreter. That was it’s whole problem

Thanks for the laugh.

Andy Bailey February 4, 2008

thanks for the comment! it is a bad good joke, or is it a good bad joke? lol

jalaj (3 comments.) February 4, 2008

I use the 10 kinds quote on the bottom of my emails too.

To my surprise, many (many!!!) never seem to understand what 10 here stands for. One or two frankly asked me about it, but there are others who don’t. Is that too high level to fly over the heads!

Dwindle February 4, 2008

Isn’t there only 1 type of person who doesn’t get binary?

Andy Bailey February 4, 2008

well done, another person spots it! out of the 10 types of people that would spot it, you are 01 of them!

mike February 5, 2008

I feel special, because I get it!

Michael February 7, 2008

That was horrible. I hate you.

Andy Bailey February 7, 2008

haha! what a lovely mix of emotions this crap cartoon has evoked!

Kim February 14, 2008

Um, there are not 10 types of people who would spot it. There is 01 type of person who would spot it and 01 type of person who wouldn’t. If you all are gonna’ revel in your genius for understanding a little bit about binary numbers, you should at least make sure you preserve the logic of the joke in the first place.

Andy Bailey February 14, 2008

umm, it’s a cartoon! (on a napkin no less).
no author url? scared of (wannabe)geek reprisal? haha

Kim February 14, 2008

Why would there be any reprisal? I am correct, after all. Perhaps that makes me a bigger geek.

Woah . . . nice stick people . . . so emotive compared to my drawings. Reminds me of the saying “Those who can’t draw . . . program”. Something like that.
