Try the following:
If you don't mind looking a bit silly, you can do this with your hands...
Hold both hands in front of you. Fingers up, thumbs tucked into your palm.
Have your palms facing towards you. Each finger represents a bit. Extend a
finger upward for each '1' and fold it down for each '0'. Apologies to the
arthritic and those offended by obscene gestures.
You now have represented the byte with your hands.
To convert, rotate your palms away from you and then cross your forearms to
make
an 'X'. Read your fingers to reconstruct the HEX representation. Works
going
from canonical to non-canonical and vice versa.
