A message in binary
Nolen Royalty writes about his wondrous One Million Checkboxes project, and how something very peculiar happened:
A few days into making One Million Checkboxes I thought I’d been hacked. What was that doing in my database?
A few hours later I was tearing up, proud of some brilliant teens.
[...] I hadn’t been hacked.
Someone was writing me a message in binary.
Nolen also gave a fantastic talk at XOXO last week where he told a part of this story and I think it was one of the most inspiring talks I’ve seen in a while. It took every ounce of effort in me not to run back to my hotel room and hurriedly build something out of pure excitement.
