It's a power of 2.

It's a Fibonacci number.
It's the number of notes in an octave.
It's the number of planets in the solar system (sorry, Pluto, we still miss you).

Sorry I'm SO SO late!! Happy Belated Birthday to Ben!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ben's page in your family site! I think we'll borrow some ideas for Kelvin's blog, if you don't mind.
I think Kelvin and Ben would probably get along great!! Down to the wanting to work for Apple or Nasa detail ;-). Ben's artwork is amazing too. I especially liked the second Japanese bridge, as well as the Peep watercolor (we're HUGE fans of Peep in this family). I can't wait to take Kelvin and Linton to Europe and, of course, to Monet's garden (one of my dreams is to go there).
