Hexagonal Blog

I don't usually post my increasingly-voluminous "fake" hexagonal graphics here—lest I detract from the overall seriousness of the HEXNET.ORG project—but I'm beginning to suspect this image could help facilitate Hexagonbot's breakthrough to interweb memedom, and I want to get it out there in a canonical, static form outside of Tumblr or Facebook.

Also, there's no point in denying that this site has been pretty lame lately, vis-a-vis regular activity. Since Hexagonbot's prolific efforts on behalf of global hexagonal awareness probably bring in more traffic than anything else these days, what better way to prop up the pretense of the site being actively maintained than with some fresh Hexagonbot material.

Feel free to print and distribute widely of course.

Today would be a good day I think to take a break from not-updating this site to remind everyone that this year's Hexagon Project at Interdependence Day Scranton is currently underway. I hadn't been planning on writing another post about it this year, but of late I received this lovely promotional poster, which I thought at least worth relaying to the wider hexagonal community. In commemoration of this year's festivities, I have also added to the Hexagonal Library a PDF of a presentation by Hexagon Day organizer Beth Burkhauser to the National Art Education Conference, "Global Interdependence and Art Education: Where Hexagons Make the Connection." More musings on the project can also be found in last year's blog post on the subject. In general of course HEXNET.ORG supports all efforts to relate the civic virtues of hexagons to their more familiar geometric ones, as both are clearly manifestations of the same unified underlying reality.

Good news everyone.

After literally hours of research and development at our new GLOBAL HEXAGONAL HEADQUARTERS in Worcester, Massachusetts, Hexnet.org is pleased to announce the release of the world's first fully-automated hexagonal awareness retweeting service: Hexagonbot v.1.0.

Hexagonbot is a companion service to our Hexagonal Awareness Project reblog on Tumblr, and is part of a broader effort by the global hexagonal community to bring hexagonal services to a variety of blogging and social media platforms.

Hexagonbot implements a proprietary algorithm through which it downloads a feed of hexagon-related tweets, and then retweets them. It's a very sophisticated process. Hexagonbot is not currently programmed to interact with other Twitter users in any way, though we anticipate this functionality may be added to future iterations of the platform.

Well, this is amazing.

I first became aware of the Hexagonismo y Arquitectura blog earlier this week, when I saw it on a list of traffic sources to Hexnet.org. At first I didn't know what to make of it, being a bit too Iberian for my linguistic competencies—beyond being fucking amazing, as noted—but upon further inspection it seemed to be affiliated with these "Hexagonists" (or, if you will, Hexagonistas) I had previously been made aware of, operating out of Ibiza, more of whose work, I think, can be found at the second link.
