The Algorithm as shown in xkcd comic #426, published on 21 May 2008.

The Algorithm that defines the sport of geohashing was first published on 21 May 2008. The anniversary of that date is approaching, and begs to be celebrated. Definitely we should geohash, but ...

  • Should it be celebrated on May 21st, or on the nearest Saturday?
  • How should it be celebrated?
  • What should it be called? Algorithm Day? xkcd Day? Geohashing Day?

Discuss here, then when we have either a consensus or a joyous riot of ideas, we'll organize them here and move the discussion to the associated talk page for posterity. -Robyn 20:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, hive mind. Just this morning I thought about this and added a new geek- holiday to my calendar (following Pi-Day, Pi-Approx.-Day, Towel-Day, ...). I simply named it Geohashing Day, but I also like Algorithm Day. I'd opt for celebrating it on May 21st, not on Saturday. If we make an achievement ribbon for this, the next Saturday might qualify for a honorable mention. Besides, another day coming up to celebrate, is Towel Day (May 25th). Someone should make a ribbon for knowing where your towel is while Geohashing. Koepfel talk 21:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
