I know this is a weird video but I can’t help it, moon spoon delights me.
Thank you M, Darla, Erin, and Michelle for giving me permission to include your moon spoon content!
Moon spoon is a fun creative and self-reflective activity anyone can do at home, and with my people I've found moon spoons to be a good opener for conversations about what's going on in our lives and in our heads.
Statement on Gettin That Sweet Sweet Moon Spoon Money:
“Moon Spoon is never the same,” which is why I decided not to mass produce and sell moon spoons. Also there’s some bad practices in the uh, magical things industry, that I’d like to avoid. So make your own, or make them for each other! Selling/buying them is fine too, as long as they are hand made with love and intention. You have my permission and blessing to make, share, sell, etc, with moon spoon, including the moon spoon booklet, as long as it is YOU making and selling them (not using a manufacturer or outsourced labor).
Also note: vials of moonwater are very fun, but are likely to leak or explode, so don’t ship them or carry them around in a pocket with your cell phone unless you’re really sure about your materials and methods. I speak from experience.
This video was supported by Patreon! Thank you to my patrons, who are used to being thrown curveballs in terms of the kinds of things I post, yet still perhaps were not expecting moon magic... hehehe I hope you like moon spoon anyway! Extra special thanks to Ray Sidney, Andew Romaner, David Perryman, Alan Boulton, Carol Hart, David A Smith, not lesia, and Yana Chernobilsky.

Here's a link to the Patreon post about this video (it's patron-only but there's not that many secrets, this link is just here for patron convenience: patreon.com/posts/new-video-rolls-93226189)I have opinions about string light colorsVihart2023-10-26 | It's fine though.
Bonus exercises for those who absolutely will continue to overthink this for the rest of their lives:
1. If you have a 150 light strand with 5 “Christmas” colors, and decide to remove all the pink ones and make it a 4 color pattern, what’s the minimum number of lights you’ll have to replace/move? Can you generalize to any number of lights and colors?
2. Choose, or create, a holiday that doesn’t have string lights as part of its standard decor… yet. Decide what colors the lights should be, considering how the colors will mix and light the room. Get as detailed about frequency, spectrum, and incandescent vs led considerations as you want.
3. Remember how you could think of chasing light patterns as moving slowly in one direction, faster in the other, or even faster in the original direction? How far does this go? Can you come up with a way to describe this, for different numbers of lights and different chase patterns?
4. Create something that has the vibe of string lights with different colors and chase patterns. Use a musical instrument, a computer program, makeup, dance, or any medium you enjoy. It could use simple blobs of color, plain text numbers, sounds, or movements.
5. Say you have 3 spider light factories, each of which exclusively makes one color of light: orange, purple, and green. If you are producing 3 different colors for 10 bulb string lights that start and end with orange, how much efficiency are you losing by having idle factories that don’t need to produce as many purple and green spiders?
6. Prove irrefutably that spiders are a christmas animal.

Do the forces of topology and mathematics smile upon your pairing? Find out with this classic mobius strip love test.
I learned this from Mike Caputo in around 2010, and as far as I know he originated this trick, or was an early popularizer of it, in his 1990 article in the Jan/Feb edition of The Oregon Mathematics Teacher (and if anyone can find this article maybe it will give more insight). I blogged about it in Feb 2011 after teaching it in a workshop when I was Mathemusician in Residence at Harvard's Pforzheimer House (anyone here from those days? Hello!), but unfortunately all the links in that post are now dead (as is the blog itself) and my memory is fuzzy. So if you have info to share please send me a note!
I've seen a number of great videos on this in the past ten years, but none that capture quite the spirit and framing of the original love test in the way I remember it. Or maybe this is never how it originally was and I made it all up. No idea, but I had fun making this and I hope you had fun watching it :D
