-* Tuesday, Twosday
-I'm taking a break from my usual technology-related posts and writing
-about something a little more enjoyable today.
-
-Today is Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022. Today is 02-22-2022. Today is
-Twosday.
-
-Let's look at everything that fell in place today:
-
-1. Written in the =m-dd-yy= or =dd-m-yy= formats, today is 2-22-22 or
- 22-2-22, which is a neat little palindrome in either format. (The
- last ubiquitous six-digit palindrome was 1-11-11.)
-2. Today is Tuesday, which is why everyone is using the nickname Twosday
- to call out these similarities.
-3. Falling on Tuesday means today is the 2nd day of the week (for most
- cultures. For the US, it's the 3rd day of the week since we start on
- Sunday).
-4. The only culture I could find with a connection to a =2= is that some
- Slavic languages derived their version of Tuesday from the Old Church
- Slavonic word =въторъ=, meaning "the second."
-5. Written in the classic monospaced, digital font (think of digital
- clocks from the 80s/90s), there is nice symmetry to the numbers
- ([[https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20220222-tuesday/digital_font.png][view
- the image here]]!).
-6. This one isn't naturally-occurring, but it seems people around the
- world are celebrating the day. For example, a group is putting
- together
- [[[[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2-22-22-a-collective-wedding-ceremony-at-the-state-capitol-tickets-211434605597]]][a
- wedding of 222 couples at the California State Capitol in
- Sacramento]], concluding at exactly 2:22 PM. These couples will
- record their marriage dates as 2-22-22 2:22 PM. Tickets were on sale
- for $222.22.
