Purity Ring last night was such a good show and refreshing in multiple ways. The production was awesome, with several spinning LED “fans” that showed video, making the video look like it’s hanging in the air in the space around them. There were several of those in front of and behind them, plus a large screen at the back of the stage, so it was a really cool 3D effect. Photos don’t quite do it justice since they pause the spinning, but they still came out pretty cool.
I was also excited for this show because the band requested fans wear a respirator mask and provided them if anyone needed them. I was even more impressed when I learned that they invited mask blocs from each city to table at the event, so my Fan Favorite SD buddies were there and I got to meet a few new people!
The band talked about it briefly, thanking everyone who masked and stressing its importance as an act of community care. 💛😷
As the Mandalorians say, “This is the way.”

π 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).

(314th day of the year)<br /><br />No, it should not be the US-centric March 14th, which most of the world writes as 14/3 or 14-3.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The ordinal date (ISO 8601) is the only way to have an international nth day of the year: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_date\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_date</a><br /><br />Similarly:<br /><br />* 88th day: worldwide Piano Day: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Day\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Day</a> (blogged <a href=\"https://tantek.com/2024/088/t1/world-piano-day-ordinal-date-iso-8601\">https://tantek.com/2024/088/t1/world-piano-day-ordinal-date-iso-8601</a>)<br />* 256the day: 8-bit day or <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day</a> (blogged <a href=\"https://tantek.com/2025/257/t1/happy-8bitday-255-bytes-max\">https://tantek.com/2025/257/t1/happy-8bitday-255-bytes-max</a>)<br /><br />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.

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!
