Don Diablo presents The Hexagon Exciting news everyone,

Several weeks ago I was contacted regarding an opportunity for our involvement in promoting an upcoming show of hexagonal import being put together by V Squared Labs for the Dutch DJ Don Diablo. I had of course never heard of either of these outfits before, and was hesitant to wade into artistic and cultural waters so very foreign to my traditional areas of expertise, but nonetheless it struck me as exactly the sort of aesthetic articulation of hexagonal principles that I'd been quite interested in pursuing for some time now, but which I'd hitherto lacked an appropriate outlet to engage in, at least on any meaningful scale. The show, appropriately titled "The Hexagon," involves a hexagonal visual synthesizer—which I'm told carries with it a number of important technical advantages in addition to its obvious aesthetic import—and will be be performed live for the first time at Freshtival on 19 May, in Enschede, The Netherlands. SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS if you're going to be in the Low Countries next weekend for some reason. MOAR »

It has come to our attention that we have not been keeping up with the continuing HEXAGONAL IMAGERY from Cassini. So here is a dump of several highlights from this year, including the recent false colors from late April.

Hexagonal Awareness Month 2013/11b9

Yes, I have returned from an AWKWARDLY LONG BREAK after the launch of this "new" site to once again announce HEXAGONAL AWARENESS MONTH. Since I do not, for the time being, want to be associated with this site at all, on any level, I have created a NEW SITE dedicated to this, the most glorious of all awareness months, mostly cobbled together from pieces of other sites I am currently developing.

Hexnet.org v.3.1 Release Notes

James Webb Space Telescope: Where's the carb on this thing? Photograph by NASA.

Happy Monday everyone! Let us all take a brief recess from celebrating the genocidal subjugation of half the planet to consider this NEW AND IMPROVED SITE.

As astute regular visitors to this site may have noticed, we recently went live with a MAJOR OVERHAUL of Hexnet.org. I wrote literally like a twenty-paragraph blog post about this last week, but it was rather silly and digressive, even by my standards, so I won't actually post it. But it's been like a week since I launched the new site, and I really should say a few words about it, so here we go: MOAR »

New Hexagonal Awareness Forum

Hexagonforum

Let it be known that I have created a new HEXAGON-ORIENTED web forum at hexagonforum.com.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, when we deleted the proper forum from this site nigh a year and a half ago, the plan was that the Post Index page would serve the same purpose as the forum. Basically, whereas the Blog would list content by date, including full teasers and images and so forth, in the style of a normal blog, the "Index" page would list the same content but in a table, default sorted by most recent comment—as is typical among web fora. Unfortunately, this has proven to be perhaps a more arcane content browsing system than a site like this really needs or should have, and over the past few months I've come to see the need for a dedicated, "conventional" web forum, entirely separate from this site.

Hexagonal Awareness Month 2012

Hexagonal Awareness Month

I am informed by some interblags that March is Hexagonal Awareness Month. After some reflection, I have decided that yes, we will go with this.

HAPPY HEXAGONAL AWARENESS MONTH.

Please spread the word far and wide, that all may learn of hexagons and be aware of them. Also, feel free to use this tasteful logo I just made to celebrate this august occasion.
