I turn 27 today, and since it has been pointed out to me that this is very close to 30, I have decided to stop using base 10 to count my age. From now on it is hex all the way baby. For those not familiar with the system, that (at 27) puts me less than half way to the big three-oh, as follows:
20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,2A,2B,2C,2D,2E,2F,30
See? Plenty of time left 
And yes, I DO realise how nerdy that is – according to Joe it rates a whopping 6 E’s and all in caps nerd shoutout (click for full size):
Ad,
Go base 32 , then you would be Vv , confusing but much better, you would only be 20 when you reach , hmm, 32.
If perhaps, maybe base 64 but that would be real cheating.
