March is Brain Injury Awareness Month<\/strong>, a time usually marked by blue ribbons. But as someone who spends my days in the world of IT, I wanted to create a symbol that felt a bit more “me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past Saturday, with the weather finally hitting that perfect Kansas spring vibe, I pulled the truck into the garage for a project I\u2019ve been planning for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Code on the Quarter Panel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you see me driving around Lenexa, you\u2019ll notice a new string of numbers on the rear quarter panel: 1010.1101.11000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To a passerby, it looks like a factory serial number or a piece of tech specs. But if you speak binary, you can decode the most significant moment of my life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 1010<\/strong> = 10 (October)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1101<\/strong> = 13 (The Day)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 11000<\/strong> = 24 (The Year)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why Binary?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    October 13, 2024, was the day of my TBI. It was the day my “operating system” was forcefully rebooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It took forever<\/em> to find this font, but I love it<\/strong> because it fits my truck well. When people ask what the numbers mean, it opens a door. It\u2019s not just a date; it\u2019s a conversation starter about the reality of TBI recovery, the importance of awareness, and the fact that even after a “system crash,” you can come back online stronger and more customized than before. So much is just different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s a small public “Easter egg” for a very big personal journey. The weather this weekend is supposed to be amazing! So get out and enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
