Poetry for geeks and lovers of Pi.
The pattern is similar to Haiku, but the lines are 3,1,4
Bonus points for evoking roundness in your Piku.
I had some pie in honor of Pi Day. I couldn't wait for 1:59:26 PM, though.
One of my co-workers said it looked like nothing but whipped cream. While a nice suggestion, it's chocolate cream underneath.

Circles for ITBAW and International Pi Week. Saturday was Pi Day. And yesterday being Saint Patrick's Day, that would be an Irish Cream milk shake :-D
Went to the Ostrich Festival just for something to do and got rocked by one of the great rock bands. Total kick ass surprise.
In this virtual Pi Day discussion, author Dan Gutman talked about his recent Albert Einstein biography for kids. People joined from home via Zoom or watched it together with us on the big screen in the Community Room.
Presented in partnership with the Historical Society of Princeton as part of the town's annual Pi Day Princeton events organized by Princeton Tour Company.

Lit with 2 SB-600's on on either side of the board. Both on manual, at full power, bounced off the ceiling. Triggered with CLS.
These shots were taken as publicity for an event in Princeton this Sunday, PI day. Einstein was born on March 14,(3/14). 3.14 is the first three numbers in PI. Einstein also lived in Princeton for over 20 years. This is the first PI Day in Princeton, which is being spear headed by Mimi Omiecinski of Princeton Tour Company. The model above is her mother, Bella, dressed as Einstein's mother. I will be dressed as Robert Oppenheimer who was a colleague of Einstein and the man behind the Manhattan Project. I will have my camera handy on Sunday for the Pie tasting, Pie throwing, and Einstein look-a-likes.
The Annual Middle School Pi Day Assembly brought out Menlo's finest circle-drawers, reciters of digits of pi, and pie eaters.

At the Exploratorium we hosted the 24th Annual Pi Day on March 14th, 2012. Founded at the Exploratorium by our own Prince of Pi, physicist Larry Shaw, Pi Day has become an international holiday, celebrated live and online all around the world. This was our last Pi Day celebration at the Palace of Fine Arts before we move to Pier 15 along San Francisco's Embarcadero in 2013.

It's my Birthday today and I'll have Pi if I want to!!!
Pi Day was dreamed up 27 years ago to celebrate 3.14 on 3/14, but this year the geek dial is being turned up to 15 — as in 3/14/15. And this'll be the only year until 2115 that you can turn the dial up to the max, at 3/14/15, 9:26:53, an exact match for pi's first 10 digits.
On Saturday morning at 9:26 a.m. get ready to celebrate the most epic Pi Day you’ll ever encounter.
What is Pi Day, you ask? It’s March 14 — 3.14. Get it? No? Think back to math class: it’s the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
So what’s the big deal?
Pi is a pretty cool number, and not just for number-crunchers. It turns out that there is no end to it, insofar as we know. It’s been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond the decimal point. And get this: there is no repetition or pattern to the numbers.
But this year is particularly special as it is March 14, 2015, or, as those who celebrate Pi would say, 3.1415.
But wait: it gets better.
At 9:26:53 a.m., we will see the first 10 numbers of Pi. It’s a once in a lifetime event.
3.141592653.......
On March 12, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution recognizing March 14 as National Pi Day.
Pi isn’t just about circles: it can be found throughout physics and nature. It occurs in mathematics problems that calculate the lengths of arcs and the areas of curved surfaces like the discs of the sun and moon and even waves and ripples.
So while it may not be a national holiday, it’s still a pretty epic day to celebrate. Maybe you could even mark the day with a nice piece of pie!!!

I love the violets in the lawn, as previously mentioned. But what I didn't know till recently is that our "secret garden" area of the backyard has white violets.
Are they still called violets if they're not, well, violet?
Historical coincidence: in 1928, Mark Lafky and his wife Manette bought property along the Tualatin River, not far from where we live now, to grow irises for commercial sale. Some of the first flowers that came up in the spring included a Wedgwood (blue) variety of Dutch iris, which typically bloomed shortly before Easter.
One year, a small number of these blue Dutch irises came up with a genetic sport, and produced white flowers. Mark Lafky culled them out and began the process of selective breeding, because there was always a large demand for white flowers at Easter. WIthin a few seasons he had a dependable crop of these white irises, which he called Tualatin Manette.
I had the pleasure of playing Mark Lafky at the Tualatin Historical Society's dedication of our Interpretive Center's garden a year or so ago, and thought of this story when I saw the white violets springing up amid the moss and dandelions in our "secret garden."
