happy html day 2025

August 2, 2025 at Louis Valentino Jr. Park in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York City, Kings County, New York State, in the United States of America on Planet Earth. I saw some of my friends from Creative Coding NYC, Shiva, Marcos, and Sai. Some folks I met that I didn't know (who I can remember!) were Frank, Susan, Josh, and Sequoia. Someone was writing html tags on green tape and handing them out. Another printing html tags onto receipts (I got <html> and <button>). Some people brought interactive diy games, frisbees, someone started an exquisite corpse html page on a notepaper. I was actually suprised at the amount of people writing html on paper (or even a watermelon). There were discussions on the use and purpose of some obscure tags, another about coding being a form of magic and divining, some folks exchanged numbers or, of course, website urls. The vibes were immaculate, the entire evening was imbued with HTML ENERGY.
