a mathematician's birthday cake

It was my husband's birthday this week. He got books, and gift certificates for more books. This is good, because he's been rather forlorn for the last few weeks with "nothing to read" (which is somewhat ridiculous if you could see the number of books we have in our house, but I recognize that it's always nice to have something new).

I made him a cake, and we opened presents together as a family. I didn't have enough candles, so he did it in binary. Clever.
