Whyday ∞.0
Tomorrow is August 19. Time for another Whyday!
Really, though, August 19 isn’t that special. It made a perfect occasion for the first celebration of what _why brought to us, and a great time for us all to say how much we missed him.
On the next day, though, I wrote “every day is Whyday.” And that’s been closer to the truth than I ever would have expected. I’m...

If you have a Whyday project you’d like to highlight, or invite people to help with, post with the #whyday hashtag on Twitter, or comment on this post.

Two Days To Go!
Whyday is in two days: Thursday, August 19, 2010.
I know a lot of local groups and a few companies are organizing activities or projects to celebrate. If you’re planning something, please communicate your plans in one of the following ways:
a tweet with the hashtag #whyday
email to whyday@vanderburg.org
I’ll repost those details here.
I had plans yesterday to style this blog like the main Whyday site before posting, but life intervened. Time to just go for it.
