Ļ€ Happy ordinal pi day! (314th day of the year)

No, it should not be the US-centric March 14th, which most of the world writes as 14/3 or 14-3.

Science and mathematics are international, without borders, not specific to any one country or culture. As scientists and mathematicians we should seek international-based celebrations that bring us all together around the globe rather than country-specific dates.

The ordinal date (ISO 8601) is the only way to have an international nth day of the year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_date

Similarly:

* 88th day: worldwide Piano Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Day (blogged https://tantek.com/2024/088/t1/world-piano-day-ordinal-date-iso-8601)
* 256the day: 8-bit day or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day (blogged https://tantek.com/2025/257/t1/happy-8bitday-255-bytes-max)

I suspect there are other such annual worldwide holidays that are pinned to the ordinal date rather than a Gregorian or other non-decimal calendar. Let me know if you have a favorite that you celebrate!

🄧 I haven't made a pie (or picked one up) yet — will have go pick up a slice during a break in this evening’s #w3cTPAC meetings (which are in Japan where it’s already the day after pi day).

#books #machine-knitting

I’m traveling but that doesn’t mean I’m not machine knitting!

I am so grateful to Cristina Talpa for her make-a-scarf workshop. Amy found it via the Makery and we thought it seemed too good to pass up.

And it was! While the workshop is geared for total beginners to machine knitting, Cristina smoothly adjusted to work around things I already knew. She taught me some great new techniques and helped me improve some less-than-optimal techniques I came to the workshop with.

Plus, this scarf! I love it! Amy enjoyed posing me on an outing in Berlin today to snap a few photos.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet an expert (and experimental!) machine knitter, work on a garment together, and chat about the state of the craft.

Thanks so much, Cristina!

Great #indieweb sessions at #btconf #Berlin!

Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to ā€œteach someone …. something about building for the webā€, and to ā€œtake back control of your feeds, your attention, and … go exploring againā€. She encouraged us to ā€œbuild healthy online neighborhoodsā€. That’s a great metaphor and very complementary to rebuilding your own home(page) on the web with perhaps a digital garden as well!

Today, Ana Rodrigues (@anarodrigu.es @ohhelloana.blog) connected the dots from Sacha’s reminders to encouraging everyone to join burgeoning healthy online neighborhoods like:
* 32-Bit Cafe (@32bit.cafe and see their Discord & Discourse)
* IndieWeb Community (@indieweb.org and see @chat.indieweb.org for Discord, IRC, Slack)

Both are filled with online neighbors helping and teaching each other how to make what people want to express on and for their personal sites!

Know of other healthy online neighborhoods? Let me know and I’ll add them to the IndieWeb communities page!

Want to connect your online home with online neighbors?
* Join the IndieWeb #webring: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Webring

Prefer events? Join a virtual Frontend Study Hall, Homebrew Website Club meetup, or the next #IndieWebCamp!
