[Pil-pc-oceania] National Pc Day

[jedd]

 My thoughts.

 Birthdays - bad.  Inherently one-sided, for starters.  Makes us
 sound like looneys for seconds.

 Seasons - doesn't scale to the rest of planet.  QED short-sighted.

 Equinox - a good album by JMJ, but as a date it doesn't work
 (it shifts by as much as three days, depending on year and where
 you happen to be on the planet at the time).  Plus of course it isn't
 really an equinox (the sun is not a single point of zero dimensions).
 And it makes us sound like artists rather than practitioners of a
 design methodology.

 To expand on that point - if we believe a design science is truly
 scalable across the globe and across disciplines, we should not
 even be considering targetting a day that has an arbitrary meaning
 for one seventh(?) of the world's population who may happen to
 be gardeners.

 I've read pretty much this entire thread .. but I'm still wondering
 what the point and/or goal of this day / week is? 

 cheers,
 Jedd.
