2025-06-21 Spotlight: Pagat
pagat.com is a good website. Ever play a card game and forget the rules? Remember the rules of a card game but forgot the name? Pagat is a website written by John McLeod with the rules and variations of "card games from around the world" and it's been really helpful on several occasions when I wanted to fill in the "missing rules" from my family's card game oral traditions.

moved news -> blogette. little posts go here now.
TODO for later: set up my rss feed to generate an update for every post in the blogette. im sure i can do that, its just programming right
oh hey look another little post from the same day with no title required, wow what a great system this is
oh yeah if you didn't see it yet I wrote this post over on github called eleventy for neocities users to explain how the markdown parts of my site work, give it a look if you like markdown and please tell me what you think!

today is 7/5 which is a very nice ratio because it's approximately equal to the square root of 2. I think the square root of 2 is a very useful number that doesn't get enough love, probably because it's long to say and doesn't have a funny greek letter. I'm gonna start calling it #root2 to solve that first one. I guess we could make it the letter rho, for root, but that might mean something already, and honestly writing √2 isn't any harder than writing π.
i'm sure people have known about the 7/5 approximation for a while now but I just noticed it recently when I realized that the standard size of a US playing card (3.5 x 2.5 inches) is nearly a √2:1 ratio, which means it mimics the A-series of paper (think A4 printer paper) where if you half or double it you get the same aspect ratio. That means if you stick two playing cards together by the long edge, you get something almost the same shape as a playing card, because 7/5 is close to √2 and 10/7 is also close to √2.
so I guess if you're in one of those countries that writes the date before the month, you can celebrate root2 approximation day on July 10th :p
