Form, meet function. See your exact age — in binary. The perfect birthday treat for anyone with appreciation for the geeky side of design, this indispensable little thing will always be there to answer the most burning question of all — how old am I, right now? — by providing a captivating play of lights which speaks to you in binary, the most basic language of information. (We also offer an alternative display of more conventional numbers for the moments when you just need to know for sure.) Prop it up on a table, a shelf, or the wall, and it will catch the eye and activate the mind. It will continue to serve you well until the day you turn the ripe old age of 128.
