Thanks to my geeky roommate, I’ve discovered my favorite new time-waster: the Binary-to-Text translator.
And yes, it’s just what it sounds like it is. Using the same format as classic online translators, which convert a block of text in one language into a block of text in another, Binary-to-Text converts words or phrases (in any language, it seems) into a series of 1s and 0s – and everyday people into super-nerds.
