A killer collection of commercial parodies via nerve.com, with the majority of them obviously coming from Saturday Night Live. I’m glad to see one of my all-time favorites make #7.

I don’t need no

I don’t need no

Gonna count to

Hey!
Teachers!
Feel that binary!
All in all, it’s just a

You enjoy your Cinco de Mayo last night? I spent mine partying with my friends: a hammer, a crowbar, Led Zeppelin, and Tecate. Lots of Tecate. Working past midnight, I threw myself into the task of pulling up the existing twenty hardwood strips and clearing the way for the Binary Floor. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I accomplished once I got moving. The more I do this stuff, the more I realize I’d probably be a carpenter in another life.

Below is a test layout. Next step is to do some precise math, figure out what needs cutting, and start getting busy setting, sanding, staining, and finishing.

Update: I’ve decided that the binary sequence will begin at the kitchen, working its way to the front door. That is, 00001 will be at the kitchen’s threshhold.

Special thanks to Hector for some direction, a loaned crowbar, and the finishing touches we plan to get to as soon as this weekend.
