when I started this blog five years ago, I was a pet sitter and the name animal-crackers made sense. now I'm a stay-at-home-dad and freelance writer, but rather than confuse everyone by getting a different blog, it's just easier to keep posting things here.

09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0

These 16 numbers and letters:

09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0

seem to be causing quite a stir. Somehow they unlock HD-DVD movies. I don't know how.

I like them for their assymetric beauty. Notice how it starts and ends with 0. The number 56 is the only segment that's repeated. Even numbers outnumber odds, 4-to-3.

The letters spell fdebdcc. Clearly, part of the da Vinci code. The stupid part, anyway.

This 16-digit code, to me, is a digital Jackson Pollock. It is its own subject matter. It's a picture that represents nothing more than itself. So tranquil and sublime, yet bold and expressive.
