For Pi Day this year, Cinko decided to solve the last digit of the famous irrational number.
It's 8.
Last year, Target celebrated Pi Day. This year, Cinko used a whiteboard for the CWD16 "white" assignment.
It's like a geek Christmas! :-)
ODC: This is so me (I think this pretty much says "me" -- a geek with absolutely no food or decorating skills)
Enjoy, but make it a safe and sane one. Don't do anything crazy, like trying to calculate pi to the final integer.
I was looking for a shot of the flowering Rape Seed set against a 'Blue Hour' blue sky - and I saw these tractor tracks as I drove past the field. When I took it I thought it had a reasonable change of being OK, but as I processed it the shape of 'Pi' became obvious.
I celebrated PiDay with Astro Pi Ed and Izzy who can calculate π to more decimals than I can!

The We're Here! gang is celebrating Pi Day by visiting the group European Pi Day (22/7), which irritates the heck out of me, since only the USA, Micronesia, and the Philippines write their dates mm/dd/year (so that Pi works out to March 14), so why isn't "European Pi Day" called "International Pie Day"?
Oh and I am further irritated by having googled 'date format' and google tells me that Canada writes it the same way as they do in the USA. Um, no we don't. We write it the same way as the rest of the world. And we say "zed" instead of "zee"...like the entire world except the USA. And we use Celsius, like the entire world except the USA and a few islands, like the Caymans.

HDR round 2. This was taken today late afternoon on a walk through Waterloo Park - I was lucky enough to reach the PI just as the sun was going down and was able to capture some nice reflections.
Update: Apparently this was on Explore, horray! Highest position #172 on Feb. 1, 2009.

I like to think I've launched her on a career in horror movies, circa 2029. www.pinterest.co.uk/johnseven47/works-of-unquestionable-g...
Thank you Jim Frazier for the reminder about Pi Day.
I've taken the straight out of camera notion to a new level to include straight out of oven!
Cook was up early this morning to churn out a batch of manoosh. She'd mixed the dough last night and put it in the fridge to retard it. By the rise on these things, that may have worked; slightly! We don't celebrate Ramadan, but we do share Middle Eastern delights at this time in solidarity with the diversity of cultures. This is when we eat harira, and recall that three dates are eaten to commence iftar.
The logical extension of what to do with all that manoosh dough is to make cheese pies or fatayer: dough rounds stuffed with grated halloumi, and sealed. Alright, these are bigger than standard and the yeast has gone berserk. But Cook thinks BIG.
As we celebrate Pi Day, these might be the biggest cheese pies ever!
Nos petits AstroPi. Ces micro-ordinateurs basés sur un raspberrypi sont assez connus parmi les amateurs d’informatique. La fondation Raspberry Pi a été créée pour encourager les enfants à apprendre à coder. L’objectif est de développer les compétences en programmation des prochaines générations. Ils sont conçus pour être polyvalents et bon marché. En ce sens, ils répondent parfaitement à l’objectif de développement durable n°4 : assurer une éducation de qualité inclusive et équitable et promouvoir les possibilités d'apprentissage tout au long de la vie, pour tous. Ces petits ordinateurs sont tellement réussis qu’on les trouve jusque dans l’espace. Ils utilisent très peu d’énergie (donc on peut les laisser allumer autant qu’on veut) mais ils font à peu près tout comme un véritable ordinateur : prendre des photos, surveiller la température, afficher des messages, ou même recevoir des commandes vocales grâce à un microphone. La seule limite c’est la créativité de la personne qui l’utilise, et c’est une qualité dont les enfants débordent ! Grâce à AstroPi ils peuvent même faire tourner leur code dans l’espace, j’aurais trouvé ça assez cool quand j’étais jeune . AstroPi est un programme récurrent de l’ESA : si vous souhaitez impliquer votre classe, vous trouverez les renseignements ici www.astropi.org
Working with our little European Astro Pis. These little computers are based on the Raspberry Pis and well-known in the community of computer enthusiasts. The Raspberry Pi foundation was created to encourage children to learn coding and improve computer skills in the next generation. As a charity they were designed to be versatile and cheap to give access to all. They are are a great success and a good example of implementing Sustainable Development Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The little computers do so well they are everywhere, including space! They use very little power (so can stay on at all times) but are versatile enough to do almost everything a normal computer can do. And this makes them great for use in space too! These little guys can take pictures, monitor the temperature, display messages to us and listen to commands or ambient noise with a microphone. And they’re kind of cute! The only limit to what can be done is creativity, and that's where children come in. How cool is it that you can be coding software to run in space while still at school! The future is now 😉.

La Pie d'Amérique est un résident répandu et bien visible des habitats ouverts dans l'ouest du Canada. Elle est bien surveillée par le Relevé des oiseaux nicheurs qui indique que sa population a peu changé depuis 1970 environ. Il n'y a aucune préoccupation urgente liée à sa conservation à l'heure actuelle.
