"I’ve found it’s actually NOT a good idea to use your fingers to count in binary. People tend to punch you when you get to 4. Weird."
Explanation:
Okay, so this is the second consecutive nerdy entry. For those of you who can't count in binary, alow me to use this visual aide in counting to 4. "!" will indicate a raised finger, while "." will indicate a lowered finger. I think you'll get the idea.

Yesterday's Explanation:
I'm actually kinda glad only 2 people figured out yesterday's message. It takes a special blend of nerdinesses to put the two pieces together.
The first thing to know is how to read and/or speak in Lolcat, a viral internet meme that has lasted far beyond its useful purpose. Some of them are fairly amusing though.
Second is the gedanken experiment known as Schrodinger's Cat" in which a cat in a closed box is both alive and not alive at the same time, and the only way to know or sure is to open the box.
Yesterday's message is a whimsical combination of both...creating Schrodinger's Lolcat.
