 It's the first one. Good morning, everyone. Hello. How's everyone doing today? Doing good. How are you doing? Doing fine. Doing fine. What shirt was that, Stephen? Ah, this is the... Sure is this? Oh, this is the one you're talking about, sir. The 15th anniversary. And I've got the 15th anniversary. That actually is... Yeah, I'm a year behind you, so I don't... That's right. So as you have the 16th anniversary... Nope. I already printed it out for the future. Oh, that's too bad. Oh, well. I didn't have time to set up my fin cam. I was running a little behind because I was detangling a French Canadian rabbit hole, loophole, knot. And then after I added this one missing sibling, I realized, uh-oh, I needed to do a quick makeover. So I don't have a fin cam. But there's the fin cam. Awesome. Good morning, Finn. Somebody's too tired to deal with this, Finn. Oh, there's a little tail wag. Okay, Finn, he says hi. He appreciated all the love he got at the four o'clock last yesterday afternoon. Nice. He had a separate cam I set up for him. And Steve, how are you doing? I haven't seen you on air for a long time. Well, I have a new situation now where I have to work on Fridays, but I get my Sundays off. So you'll see a lot of me on Sundays now. That's excellent. The new job going well? Yeah, it's going well. It has its own new stresses, but that's every job, right? And so, yeah, I didn't get much done last night. And it's still super cold and wintry up here. But I got the car washed, and then I got to find out that, oh, this is how you lock your doors. This is how you freeze your door shut. You have to make sure you open all of them before you leave it set, or else you won't be able to get in the next morning. So then I was pretty much done for the day at 9 p.m. I went to bed pretty early, and then I just kind of woke up for this. So I still got to get ahead on the day. But yeah, I'm excited to do some more connecting. I'm up to five. Awesome. Excellent. There's everybody else in the chat. Well, I think I might be at seven now. We have all these other alternative tasks that we have to adhere to. That's right. I don't know where I'm at. I finally got some answered today. It looks like I'm at three. Okay. Wow. We are here. Models, aren't we, to aspire to? You got to run the ship. You know, you got to run a tight ship here. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. So then I plan to be back for the 7 p.m. 1. Oh, good. Which is Chicago time. Chicago time, which would be eight Eastern. Yeah, Eastern. Yeah, good. Yeah. Unfortunately, funeral has popped up that I have to play for. Not a relative, but as the church musician, I'm on call. So I won't make it for noon, but I will be back at four in the afternoon. Yeah, I have conflicts, too. So anyway, so I think, you know what, it's eight o'clock my time, and eight is a really special number, you know, because it's two to the power three, two cubed. And so that's one special number. And you know, one, two, three, that's the beginning of a Fibonacci sequence. The next one is after two and three is five. And then after five comes eight. So Fibonacci, it's going to be Fibonacci morning. So let's see, let me move. I'm going to move this. This is the device I use for my FIMCAM. So I can just put my phone in it, and then I can angle these legs. You can angle around so you can. Oh yeah, that's like a gorilla pod. It is a gorilla pod. Yeah. Well, I don't know exactly gorilla. Anyway, so let me move that out of the way so I can see my third monitor here. Let's get on to some stats, some Fibonacci stats for today. Now, it is a bit early, and I was a little rushed. So you might have to help me if I miscalculate the next Fibonacci number and what we're going to do. So the chat's catching on again. Is the chat's catching on? There we go, Fibonacci. But before I start the Fibonacci, Azure, can you scroll the word of the hour that people should type in? Makeover. Oh, it's not funny. I used it already in the intro. Yeah, I know. Glow out. I was rushing because I was still in my little bed clothes. I needed a makeover, and the profiles need a makeover. And there's a new contest about doing a profile makeover, isn't there, Azure? Yes, there is. Dotus has got a challenge out for the month of January, and we're hoping to have it continue each month. And I'm going to add that link into the chat for y'all. It's the profile makeover event, and it's in GTG add a dash of love to some profiles for January. Very nice. Yes, Steve. Just a dash, you know. Oh, just a dash. We made the word super hard because we gave them two this morning. Yes. They spelled both of them right. Yeah, and I guess the space is important, too? Yes. Yes. Yeah. But capitalization not. I said it was makeover, but it's actually profile space makeover. So Ruth, you might want to type that again so that you get, yeah, you need the word profile space and then the makeover for it to work. And build, too. Yes. I always love to give my profiles a glow up. Yeah. Well, Betsy had an excellent idea yesterday was that she, you know, as she's adding profiles during this connective time, she's going to pick one of those to add the dash of love to, which it makes a lot of sense because, you know, you create a profile, you add one source, maybe a couple. I'm trying to add at least a birth and marriage to each one I'm doing, which is another reason I'm slowing down beside the rat's nest I'm finding. I've actually been using the sorcerer and just hitting all. Oh, because you go from a family search record or something. Yeah. Yeah, I'm on family search, and then I'm selecting sorcerer, you know, create all citations, making sure that they're actually attaching to all the right people. You know, a lot of it's like the births of their children or like the marriages of their children, too. So that makes the connections between the children and the parents at least. Oh, very nice. No, the one, well, because of the, I'm in the French Canadian one, and all of those, most of those sources aren't on the, or those trees aren't on the family search, or at least not the ones. If they're there, they don't have actual proper sources attached. So I'm happy to create them. The citations, well, I'm using the Druin app, the citation app I made, but anyways. I like what Lisa is saying here. She's saying she's, she did her dash of love on a random unsourced profile. Oh, that's very kind. That's awesome. That's a, Sam, you'll want to retype that again. Makeover is one of the words, but you need both. You need both the profile and the makeover. So here we are. Let me just zoom in here. There we go. That's big and large, right? So we're going to go, we're talking Fibonacci. So I'm going to go back to the user sheet. Okay. And we'll just go through the users with the Fibonacci numbers. So usually I started the bottom work my way up, but we're going to do the other way around because it's easier to count that way. So the first Fibonacci is, number is one. And the first, and sometimes people call it go one, one, two, three, and so on. But we'll, so we could say patty patty, you know, to do the one one if we want, but patty Laplante is number one in terms of total contributions with 609 profiles. That's, that's amazing. But look at this close by is Alan Entwessel and he's in second position. And you know what? And even if he overtakes her, they're still both going to be Fibonacci numbers by the end of this. Though Emma might come close and she's number three. And you know what? Three is also a Fibonacci number because one plus two equals three. So Emma Macbeth was 581. She's definitely within striking distance. So if patty and Alan, if they not offer an afternoon nap, Emma could catch them easily. Uh, Danita, who's in the chat, and he just said that Patty's got the biggest cc seven. She leads in more than one way. Oh my goodness. She is just a winner winner chicken dinner. Wow. Yeah. There we go. Danita, you could get there into the Fibonacci zone with just a little more work. But anyways, good work for Patty, Alan and Emma. Okay. So two plus three is five. So the next Fibonacci number is actually John G Graham from the Appalachia roots with 510. I didn't mention that Patty was Appalachia roots and Alan was splendid spruces and Emma is team roses. So the next one after number five is eight, three plus five is eight. And that takes us down. I believe if my eyes are going correct, I think that's sandy paddock. Am I right? Yep. At the Appalachia roots with 417. Way to go, Pat. Sandy. Okay. I'm making an update on that too. Jim Loden's actually the top CC seven. Oh, is he? Yeah, there it is. He's almost at 50,000. Oh my goodness. Wow. Five plus eight is 13. So that means our next one is I'm going to have to do this to make sure I can line it up right now. My eyes are going across like Caitlyn. Caitlyn are Emmett from the Mighty Oaks is in 13th position, which is 341. And then eight plus 13 is 21, which is the next Fibonacci number Al Thompson from the splendid spruces with 260. Okay. So that was 13 before 13 plus 21 makes 34. 34 is the next Fibonacci number with Antonio K. Rovers from the globetrotters. And she has 212, a palindrome of profiles. Very nice. Very nice. Okay. 21 plus 34 gives you 55, which is a lovely palindromic multiple of nine 11 and five. And that's Esme vestoizen from the South African spring box with 148. Another very cool number. There, there. Okay. So where were we before? We were at 34. 34 plus 55 gives you 89. And 89 is another Fibonacci number. And we have Viada E. Howard from the captain from Team Austria with 109 contributions. Okay. So 55 plus 89 gives 144. I'm going to have to start writing these numbers down because after accelerating pretty quick. Let's get out of hand. This is exponential, right? Well, it's almost exponential. It's actually follows what's called a golden ratio curve. So it's not quite exponential. Is it the circular? But you can grab it and it makes a spiral. Oh, there's so many cool things you can do with it. But we were going on. So the next Fibonacci number is 144. Sorry for those who are making seasick by scrolling so quickly here. But Sharon M. Piersma from the toddler tortoises has 67 contributions. So then after, so 89 plus 144 gives us our next one. So that's going to be 233, I believe. Okay, said 144 was a perfect square. I said 144 and 144. Yes, it's a perfect square. 12 squared. Kind of gross. Kind of gross. Oh my goodness. You young men's might not realize that gross is one word like the word dozen that means a special quantity. It means 12 times 12 is 144. That is a math humor right there. So then 233 we said was the next one, right? Which is a very cool number as well because it ends in a double digit. Just like 007 has a double digit in it. 233, there we go. Fiona M. McMichael, captain of the Kiwi crew. Her profiles are all about the universe, life, and everything because she's got 42 of them. 42, the answer. Look at that. Very cool. And so that's 233. Okay, so the next one, 144 plus 233 is 377, another double digit number. 377. Stop me if I'm adding wrong to get the under pressure here. Chip C. Grimshaw III from Team Mid-Atlantic U.S. with 20. Two times 10. A nice round number in position 377. Okay, so we had 233 and now 377. We add those together. We get the next Fibonacci number, which I believe is 610. We don't have that many people, do we? What's that? Do we have 600 people? We had 800 and some, so I think this is going to be the last one. We had, no, almost 829. 763 registered. Okay. Not everybody started editing yet. Not everyone has started editing. It is only Saturday morning, so people who are working all day, Friday, especially if you're working Friday and you live on the West Coast or Hawaii, right? Then I don't know how many, how many WikiTrees live in Hawaii and can we go visit them? Many conference. Anyway, so 610 is our last Fibonacci number for the users and that's going to be Heather J. Brannon from the Mighty Oaks who has started off her quests with one profile so far. And good for you, Heather. Great job, everybody. My profile is important. Yes. So, and the Fibonacci, I was going to get you to track, of all the Fibonacci users, check off on the teams to see which teams they all belong to, to see which team had the most Fibonacci user numbers. But we went and just looked at the team numbers. We could say Appalachia Roots is a Fibonacci team because it's in first position. So, is Mighty Oaks and Germany Genies and then fifth is Northwest Terriers. They're a Fibonacci team. The Kiwi crew right now is a Fibonacci team at 8. The Southern Super Sweepers is a Fibonacci team at 13 and 21. Team Mid-Atlantic U.S. is a Fibonacci team and 21 position, 21, 21 position. And 34, 34th position belongs to the Southwest Sunshiner. So, they are also a Fibonacci team. So, there you go. Lots of Fibonacci for you this morning. And let's just refresh the stats one more time. 35,426 in the first 24 hours. Wow. Good job, everybody. That is amazing. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Chris. Good morning, guys. Well, Chris appears. I just want to say, if you, if I find a Panacci in my Italian in the database, I'm going to blame you. Yes. But it's not a name on WikiTree, right? Fibonacci? ACI? I think it's, it's two Cs. Oh, it's two Cs. I didn't get that part right. Fibonacci. That's how you spell it. There's the dude. There are none of those either. And there's the, there's the spiral. Well, Fibonacci, I mean, anyway. Yeah. Oh, and I talked about yesterday the Fibonacci clock. This is what it looks like. But is it named for him? Is his last name Fibonacci? I thought it was the place name, wasn't it? Oh, yeah. Oh, that should be a one place study then. Yeah. Okay. So this is different. Okay. Greg, you don't have a one place study yet, do you? Chris and Greg, I hope we're done this week together. This is a one place study. Fibonacci, one place study. Oh, as long as there is, if their records were on Antonati, oh, I wonder. Okay. Oh, no. I'm pulling it into the one place study. Wonderful things are happening now. Yes, I will. There's another version. There's the, there, this is the one I was talking about yesterday. Oh, the Guardian, your little ads for your subscriptions. Look at this seat. So the, can I zoom in on this? Save it open as image only. So every square. So there's one, one, two, three. Like I'm talking, I'm talking the side length of each of these little squares, right? So that's, that's a one unit square, one unit square. That's a two unit by two unit. That's a three by three. This is a five by five. So if you add up the colors, if the ones that are colored in, if you add up the numbers that are colored, then that gives you the digit that you're looking for. So, which is kind of cool. Like this one here, wait a second. I'd have to, I'd have to figure, I'd have to study this a little more just to see where they get it from. That's, well, that's two and five. So one, one, two, five. So there's the seven right there. See, that's the two square and that's the five square. You have the two and the five together. You get the seven. And then the minutes are represented by the green and the blue. I think so. No, because the 545, how is five represented in that one? First five. Oh, one and, no, wait a second. We'll have to come back to that. Anyways, we digress. Surprisingly, we digress. Math is hard. I had to know it. No, math is fun. Math is fun. But reading a Fibonacci clock is a special one. Yeah, well, okay. I'll have to, I'll have to read up on the Fibonacci clock. I think that was Vicki who sent me that. You copy and paste. It could be someone else, but anyways, I'm pretty sure it was someone from our Italian project. Chris, who sent me that originally. Math is fun. Yes, Judith, you got it right. Okay. Do we want to do the draw for the profile makeover or should we do the random person? What's that? If we do the random person first, that gives people who are just entering now. Yes, it was Vicki, she says. If you haven't already typed in profile space makeover, do that now and I will get Steve to read the name of the random winner of the Vicki cheer who has been working hard and now deserves a prize for it. Yes, it is Eric Bain from the Globe Shrotters. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Congratulations to Eric. That's great. Way to go, Eric. Now, do we see Eric in the chat in the comments? I don't think so. I've been watching a little, been able to watch a few of the chats passing by and I haven't seen him show up yet. He's pretty high ranked in the stats. He's like eighth place overall. Something like that. Oh, so he might be too busy to watch us. He might be working away. That could be the secret to his success. Where did that link? He doesn't get distracted every four hours. He's 12th right now with 347. Oh, it's 12. Okay. I'm going to be close. You're right. He was right at the top there. Way to go, Eric. Great job. That's a new team, isn't it? Globe Shrotters. Yeah, David Randall's a team captain there. Excellent. Team and the French fries are a new team. Yes, very cool. I think it's hilarious. Yeah, I think that's great too. Yeah. Okay then, and Eric, you don't have to do anything. AO1 will have your name and will contact you afterwards and you get to choose a mug or a t-shirt and it's very exciting. You know who else gets to choose a mug or a t-shirt? One of the people who typed in, winner, winner, chicken dinner, profile makeover. Okay, so I'm going to count down again. You've got 10 seconds left. 10, 9. If you haven't already typed it in, better type it in. 78 watching and we got 61 entries. Okay, so there's some people who haven't typed it in yet. Hit the button. Better hit that button. Bricks down. I better not win before I typed in earlier before I got in here. Please. That would be kind of bad. All right. Congratulations. Yay. Yay, Dee. That's excellent. I love it. Way to go. That's fantastic. Cool. Well, people sing yay for Dee. Good stuff. All right, Suzy. I'm glad you like how geeky this is. All our glasses, right? Oh, sorry. There we go. That's right. With turkey. Is there a meat substitute we can tell? Any questions in the chat that we should address? Not a question, but Marie was just sharing that she uses Roots Magic for her software to sync the family search and then she adds her sources and then uses Sorcerer to add to WikiTree. Oh, that's a neat way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. And then Chris was sharing, Chris was sharing that how many people here know that Suzy McLeod invented project teams. Really? He transformed WikiTree projects. Oh, yeah, huge. You're going to go Suzy. That's awesome. Thank you for that. Long ago was that. Yeah. I legit didn't know that. That's cool. Thanks, Suzy. That's huge. And then John is saying, did you know, Greg, that I answered a trivial pursuit question with Fibonacci? All right. And you got it right, right? You answered it correctly. You didn't just randomly say Fibonacci and hope that's way to go, John. Thank you. I'll take credit for that. I thought this was really cute. Joey was sharing that her daughter saw the hangout and says, OMG, it's a bunch of yous. That's great. Yes. Wait, when a bunch of yous be like a flock of animals. It's a bunch of yous. That's great. That's a bunch of yous, uh-oh. They're from Boston. E-W-E-S. Oh, and I did want to share, if it's okay. Go ahead. Let me share my screen here. Let's see. I'm going to need my TARDIS this morning. Yeah. So there's the G2G post for, if you have any connect-a-thon questions, post them out there and we'll get answers out to you. And the link for these are all in the description of this video down below. And another post we have out there is, can you help us spread the word about Wiki Tree during the connect-a-thon? And we have lots of great tags and links here for you guys to help do that. And then I just wanted to share, we have a post too, which we love to hear and see you all share your connecting selfies. So please do that. We love to see everybody smile in faces. I have an idea. I have an idea. I'm going to make a selfie right now, but I want to do a screenshot. So if you could take away the desktop. Okay. I just want to share one more thing and then we'll do that. And then Aoun has up on the Wiki Tree store some merchandise with the logo for the connect-a-thon. Nice. So I'll add that to the chat as well, if y'all would like to get anything there. She's got a coupon code out there for us. Connect 24. And that's 12% off your order. Wow. Yeah. Great. Oh, it has payment plans up. Ready? Everybody smile. Steve. What the hell? The frozen, can't you tell? You are very frozen. Yes. I can't get it, I think. You want to take a selfie? I can't keep doing this all day. That's great. All right, all right. Oh, well. Oh, time to guess. Oh, when will the post go for guessing? It's usually sometime this morning, isn't it? Or noon maybe? Like 7 p.m. tonight, I guess? I thought it usually, they post it, well, maybe, I thought they started posting the guest post at around noon. And then you have 24 hours from when it's posted. Yeah, everyone. This is a Mindy thing. Yeah, we'll get one out there and get everybody the link for that. So stay tuned to the next Hangout, which is in just over three and a half hours. After a yoga session, what? A laugh yoga session. That's right. Good. I'm wearing my hot pants. Well, I mean, if we kept up the same rate, because we're only one-third of the way through, right? And let me just refresh one more time to see what the current number is. 30. Oh, I missed it by one again. 35,556. I was one away from a palindrome. I would have refreshed. Like, even if you refreshed a second ago, it would have been the same number, right? Because it's every five minutes. So we missed as a whole the nice five, five, five, four. There was one person was just a wee bit too efficient. You know, we could have been three, five, five, five, five, five. Anyways, so if we kept up the exact same rate, then we would be over 100,000, which has to be a record, isn't it? Yeah, I think so. 906,000, I think, was the highest number we had last time. 965 something. That's really close. Wow. Yeah. And I was off by like a thousand or something. That would be cool. Yeah. I think in the past though, we don't always contain that rate, right? We taper off, yeah. But maybe this will be the thong that changes that. Yes. Maybe lots of people were working yesterday and now they're all off and they're all going to be doing wiki tree because it's too cold up in the northern hemisphere to do anything but wiki tree. Maybe it's too hot in the southern hemisphere to do anything but wiki tree and you have to stay inside in the air conditioning. Maybe. Yeah. What's it like down in New Zealand and Australia? There's like a big Lego show happening in Melbourne right now, actually. Oh. Yeah, it's called Brickvention. So a whole bunch of my nerd friends are over there right now. So they're not doing wiki tree? No, they're not wiki treeing, but it's sunshine and warm. It's great. It's probably like 40 Celsius where they are. Okay. Joey's asking what the coupon code is. Oh, connect 24. And there it is. Okay. Well, I think that was a wonderful way to start the day for those who are just started the day. For those who have been up for hours and hours, well, way to go to keep on being up. Yeah, math classes. Yeah. And for those, sorry, I didn't greet everyone by name who's in the chat, but there's 77 of you. So hello to everyone and it's going to be soon to be goodbye to everyone. But and thanks to my wonderful co-hosts who have been here and we will be back in three and a half hours from now. So no matter what time zone you're in, three and a half hours from now and we'll be starting this all over again. Well, someone else, I won't be here, but it'll be starting all over at 12 noon Eastern time, 5 p.m. UTC, three and a half hours from now. And have a great day and keep on connecting. See ya. Thanks guys. Bye.
