Abstract
In math.CA/0211148 we observed that is an "alternating" analog of Euler's constant . Here we use the binary expansion of an integer to give a rational series for analogous to Vacca's series for . Also, using a known generalization of Vacca's series to other bases, we accelerate Addison's series for . Along the way, we give new proofs of Vacca's and Addison's formulas.
