Alisian Calendar

Why the Alisian Calendar?

The Gregorian calendar is a computational nightmare. Want to know what day of the week your birthday falls on next year? Better break out a calculator. Planning something for "the second Saturday in April"? That date changes every year. Remembering when holidays are? Good luck with that mess.

The Alisian Calendar fixes this:

  • Every month has exactly 4 weeks (28 days)
  • Every month starts on Monday
  • Dates are consistent - the 2nd Saturday in April is always April 13th, every year
  • 13 months total - Now with internally coherent naming. Originally, I had kept the names from the Gregorian calendar for ease of adoption, but... the names are all based on numbers from 1-13. I learned it in 5 minutes, so will you.
  • Simple mental math - calculating day of week is trivial

The year still has 365 days (366 in leap years). Bakersdozember contains the remaining 29-30 days to keep everything aligned with Earth's orbit around the sun.
