Happy Tau Day 2022

(C)Copyright 2022, C. Burke. "AnthroNumerics" is a trademark of Christopher J. Burke and (x, why?).

Its proponents will always swear that its better but the general public just isn't interested.

This was something that I typed on Facebook (and possibly Twitter) six years ago. It came up today as a memory. So I shared it again. It got a couple of comments, so I made it this year's comic. (It make be evening, but it's still Tau Day!)

I've had a few different Tau characters. Most likely they'll never appear during the rest of the year. I'm not one of the proponents of tau. I teach Algebra to high school students. Let the Ultra Math Nerds use tau. (I don't count myself among their numbers even if my family and friends might.)

I also write Fiction! You can now preorder Devilish And Divine, edited by John L. French and Danielle Ackley-McPhail, which contains (among many, many others) three stories by me, Christopher J. Burke about those above us and from down below. Preorder the softcover or ebook at Amazon. Also, check out In A Flash 2020, by Christopher J.

Tau Day will never be A Thing in schools because we'll be on our way out the door if we aren't there already.

A few years back, I referred to Tau as "the Betamax of transcendental numbers". I stand by that description. You may find it better to use, and superior in every way, but VHS still won the VCR wars.

The title was my alternate comic. Might make a good book title. Whaddya think?

For those not familiar with "Tau", it's another Greek letter, like Pi, which is used in some circles to stand for 2 Pi, or about 6.28.

I didn't intend to save this for the so-called "Tau Day", but it worked out that way.

I'm more of a pi guy, but I wanted to use Tau-er of power in a comic.
