2 April 2013 - special days
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
What a chaos of holidays and birthdays! Who misdesigned this excuse for
a system? Clearly the world needs my talents. One solution is to make
every day special, a precious and beautiful snowflake of a day loved by
its parents and respected by all as a unique momentary opportunity until
the next day. Seize the moment arm! Another is for every day to be
everyday so that we abandon the calendar as uninformative, a vast
simplification. The Zero-One-Infinity Rule tells us that there exists
a third solution: To have exactly one special day. I suggest January 1
of the year 0. That will give us an incentive to at long last fix up our
timeline to include a year 0.
give me a clue so sweet and true
