Yesterday was Pi day -- yes.. Pi. March 14 -- or 3.14 -- to be clear. If you missed it, don't despair, Pi is a universal constant. It is the wonderful constant which is inescapably stuck explaining the relationship between the circumference and diameter of a circle. He is an irrational number, making him boorish and an unpleasant party guest.
Some of us, I am not saying who, actually stayed up until 1:59 am (the next three digits of Pi -- 3.14159...) to see if Google was going to pay homage to this number with a Google Doodle. I wouldn't know because I fell asleep sometime before 12:30 (sigh).
This nice article by David Austin walks through a brief history of Pi. "Now get in the kitchen and bake me a Pi" -- Eric Cartman
Hi, I'm Dennis. After reconnoitering numerous blogs about all sorts of shit, I decided it was my turn to spew my random thoughts and http: all over your screen. Much of this blog is, more or less, a protracted soliloquy chronicling my misspent youth.
Worth the time...
That's me
