So September 13 is the 256th day of the year. Why 256? Because that's 2^8, the maximum number of distinct values you can represent with 8 bits (a byte). It's the perfect day for celebrating programmers—we get exactly one day of recognition before integer overflow kicks in. At least they didn't schedule it on day 0, when we'd all be arguing whether arrays start at 0 or 1 instead of celebrating.
