Hexagonal Awareness Month is the most sacred time of the hexagonal year, uniting all mankind in peaceful contemplation of the hexagonal mysteries.
Good news everyone, it's almost Hexagonal Awareness Month again.
Why not join one of our tasteful and interesting event pages today:

Here we see the illustrious cuboctahedron, or vector equilibrium. Along with the truncated octahedron, it can be considered, in some sense, a three-dimensional analogue to the hexagon. Though it has no hexagonal faces, the cuboctahedron can be seen to consist of four hexagonal rings or planes arranged in the manner of tetrahedral symmetry. That is, if one took a tetrahedron, replaced its four faces with hexagons (as for instance with a truncated tetrahedron), and collapsed all four hexagonal sides so that they all shared a common center, the vertices of the hexagons would describe a cuboctahedron, with each vertex shared between two intersecting hexagons, collapsing the original 24 vertices of the four hexagons into the 12 vertices of the cuboctahedron. (Likewise, of course, the cuboctahedron can simply be seen as a sort of "expanded" tetrahedron, with four of its eight triangular faces representing the original four faces of an inner tetrahedron, the remaining four triangles representing its four vertices, and the square faces representing its edges.) Tetrahedral symmetry being the simplest type of polyhedral symmetry, and the only one suited to this sort of fitting together of hexagonal planes, the cuboctahedron represents a unique extension of and analogue to hexagonal symmetry in three dimensions.
Important question of interest
Can anyone tell me where the goddamn reblog button went on blogs with custom domains?
The permutohedron of order n is the n-1 dimensional polytope embedded in an n-dimensional space, the vertices of which are formed by permuting the coordinates of the vector (1, 2, 3, ..., n).
The permutohedra give us an important geometrical framework with which to understand many of the interesting and unique properties of hexagons.

Behold my THREE DIFFERENT TAKEOUT ORDERS OF BUFFET FOOD. It took like 20 minutes of AWKWARD LOITERING by the buffet table for the noodles and seitanic kale to come back out, but it was totally worth it. This month I have REVISED MY EARLIER SYSTEM by segregating the no name into a DEDICATED CONTAINER (the middle tub on the left) that it might not dissolve into undifferentiated goo among the sauces of the mixed curds. I also have one dedicated noodle dish, and the other two being MIXED CURDS AND NOODLES. I will eat the latter first, and save the segregated, tub-sealed material for later on in the week. At that time the noodles in the first dish will be mixed with the curds of the other two tubs. The no name will be even distributed among all noodle/curd mixtures as needed. The boxes, as always, contain BREADED PRODUCTS for dipping in the red sauce. These are literally I think the first PICTURES OF FOOD I have ever posted to the internet - and I am to be honest mildly embarrassed to do so even at this late date. It will not be a regular thing, I just wanted to spread the good news of my take-out buffet system.
Nonetheless, I have been thinking of late that I may start posting more trivial crap here, so brace yourselves for more UNINTERESTING MINUTIAE in the future.
Everybody take a moment and read this amazing letter to Jonmon's lawyer. Background material:

BEHOLD YOUR NEW GOD
Exciting news everyone. I have created a HEXAGONAL AWARENESS COMMUNITY on Google+, in yet another presumably pointless effort to unite the global hexagonal community under some sort of viable online forum.
This is also probably a good opportunity to remind people that the Hexagons page on G+ exists as well. People should follow it.
That is all. Thank you.
Hexagonal Awareness Telephony
EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE. I know I call everything exciting BUT THIS TOTALLY IS. I have launched an automated HEXAGONAL CONSCIOUSNESS CENTER phone number: 978.800.1218 CALL IT RIGHT NOW IT'S AMAZING. There are many exciting menu options to choose from, including pre-recorded hexagonal facts, RANDOM HEXAGONAL QUOTES, hexagonal survey questions, and so forth. This is still a work in progress, and it is to be expanded over the coming days and weeks, but it is already pretty amazing. CALL RIGHT NOW. But don't drain my minutes they cost like 1 cent each and it adds up.
Good news everyone! Finding myself stuck at home on Sunday with a particularly intransigent hangover, I availed myself of the free time to throw together a new HEXAGON FORUM. It shall be known as Hexagonforum, and is perhaps my greatest accomplishment. EVAR. I am announcing this first on Tumblr, for a variety of reasons. Partly, because, quite frankly, Tumblr has the most vibrant hexagonal community I know of at present, and it seems I can probably reach a more receptive audience here than I could anywhere else. (Though I plan to formally announce it on Hexnet.org soon as well.) DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME TUMBLR HEXAGON SCENE: I know you are reading this. You must join this forum and participate in it. You will see there is not much there. I really would appreciate it if people would like, I don't know, post crap there or something. I am really bad at generating content, particularly in a forum-type environment. All I can think of to post is like "topic suggestion" type posts, where I'm like "what does the forum community think of such-and-such," but frankly, when I'm the only one there it seems like this would come off as a bit desperate and lame. I'd rather have the forum fill up with organic content in the due course of time. If that fails, however, I'll start creating sockpuppets and do it that way. BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. Because it's tedious, and I'd probably lose interest pretty quickly. I want this to become a center of hexagonal discourse on the internet, and I need your help to do it. The forum allows posting of images and embedding Youtube and Vimeo videos (other formats will be added according to demand), and there is a dedicated forum for "images and media" or some such thing, so feel free to just post whatever you are already posting to Tumblr there. That would be I think itself a good start. But there is also room for a wide variety of topical discussions on all manner of hexagonal subjects, from math to philosophy to what have you, et cetera. The categories may change a bit in the future, particularly as long as they remain empty, but once people start posting I will try to work around that as best as possible. For instance, it seems to me that "art & culture" should be one category, but so should "art & consciousness" (this is a favorite coupling of mine I suppose, but not one that the world at large has really embraced). But also "society & culture." I can't have a standalone society category and then put culture with art, that just seems silly. Or maybe I should, I don't know (edit: this is in fact what I ended up doing for now). Also, the division between ontology and mathematics seems sort of trivial to me, as well as the division between philosophy and religion - yet clearly philosophy and ontology must go together! But putting religion and math together - while, again, it sort of appeals to me - is not something I think the world is quite ready for at this time. So it is all a terrible quandary really, and I would welcome any constructive advice people may have on how the topics should be structured. Anyway: Over the past two years, as I have really ramped up my hexagonal presence on the intertubes, I have become more and more aware of the diverse and multitudinous hexagonal community that's out there these days. (Which contrasts sharply with my experience in the mid-90s, when as far as I know was the first and only person on the internet to be promoting hexagons. Or any polygon really.) And I think it is goddamn unfortunate that we still, at this late date, have no neutral space in which to congregate and organize our movement, disparate and divided though it may be. Thus, I offer this simple phpBB forum as a potential solution to ALL OUR PROBLEMS IN LIFE. Here we may all gather as equals, and discuss the hexagonal issues of our age in equanimity and peace. Some background: When I launched Hexnet.org nigh two years ago, it had a forum. It was a Drupal 6 forum so it sucked. After about six months or a year or so I got rid of it during a broader restructuring of content on the site, so that there was like a forum-ish node view that basically integrated forum functionality into the regular blog-like content structure of the site. My vision was that there would be neither "blogs" nor "fora," but one unified content type that could be displayed in either context. I still think this is a good idea, and I would like to explore it in more depth at some point in the future. But frankly that site has neither the traffic nor the content depth to justify this arrangement at present. So all I was left with was a site without a forum, that everyone recognized as a site without a forum, and which nobody really probes more deeply than that. Basically even though the site is open to ANONYMOUS CONTENT AND MEDIA POSTING by any visitors, nobody ever actually *does* this, and even though Hexnet.org has the potential to be a truly vibrant and comprehensive hexagonal community, it has never become one, not least I think because it simply doesn't "look like" a conventional web forum. Which is all the more reason why, at long last, it simply seemed prudent to create something that both looks like and *is* a conventional, straightforward, flat-threaded web forum. In the long run, I actually want to write my own forum program. I think that would be a useful exercise in honing my web programming skills, etc. And I believe I could incorporate some useful HEXAGONAL PRINCIPLES into the design of such a system. But to be honest this goal has probably held me back from just making a shitty web forum like this in the past, which I really should've done a long time ago, and this weekend, being immobilized and somewhat mentally incapacitated with a terrible headache, etc., it seemed a good opportunity to just fucking do this at long last by setting up a relatively straightforward phpBB site. And I think it worked out nicely! And I mean, maybe in the future I will port this site to a more grandiose, custom content system, or something, I don't know, but for now it is certainly good enough and stable enough in this incarnation to serve as a useful and functional resource for the hexagonal community. Quite frankly, blog-type sites like Tumblr just don't offer the versatility that a proper forum does - particularly with its lack of a meaningful comment system - and even though I haven't really participated in any web fora in recent years, as I suppose most people haven't, I do still look back fondly on the golden age of this sort of community, nigh maybe twelve or fifteen years ago or so, and I can't help but feel there is perhaps still a place for this sort of structure in the hexagonal community. I MAY BE WRONG THOUGH. I DON'T KNOW. But I think it's worth trying. One more thing - I have as some of you may or may not know a lot of hexagonal "franchises" on the internet - Hexnet.org, the Hexagons page on Facebook, Hexagons on Google+, the Hexagons subreddit, et cetera. It is my strategic plan at this point to just keep these entirely separate. I have neither the intention nor the ambition to integrate these into any sort of monolithic institution, or to attempt to leverage my dominance to co-opt other facets of the global hexagonal movement. I do interlink between these various sites and presences as much as possible of course, and I do interpromote them, but I will never bring them under any sort of unifying organizational umbrella beyond the simple mandate of UNIVERSAL HEXAGONAL AWARENESS. Indeed, I sort of enjoy giving them all their own unique styling, logos, etc - it gives the illusion of a larger community than actually exists (though again Tumblr has if nothing else taught me that there is, indeed, a hexagonal community apart from myself). Though I do not rule out the possibility that I may someday make a bid for WORLD DOMINATION through hexagonal methods and principles, such an undertaking ought to and indeed must take place entirely outside the framework of my extant hexagonal projects. Anyway so yes in conclusion please join the forum and spread word far and wide of it. Thank you and good day. FTVW.
"Hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis datur."
It has come to my attention that I never actually posted TRIUMPH OF THE HEXAGON here—though I did reblog it once on HAP. Thus, here it is. It is sort of dated at this point, but its message is still relevant I think.
I wish I'd remembered to post this during HEXAGONAL AWARENESS MONTH.
