Enjoy, but make it a safe and sane one. Don't do anything crazy, like trying to calculate pi to the final integer.
Happy Pi Day! This one is a BIG DEAL.

3/14/15 9:26 am/pm! Won't happen again for a hundred years!
So...I made midnight muffins.
Pi Day Special: 3.14
Miss Piggy: “Oh, Kermie! There’s a snake!”
Kermit: “Wow! That’s a long snake. It measures 3.14 feet.”
Miss Piggy: “But I don’t see any feet on that snake!”
Fozzie: “Oh, that’s great! It’s a π-thon!”
Kermit: “That’s right. Today is Pi-day.”
Miss Piggy: “Well, then, we should get some pie.”
Kermit: “Oh, no, Miss Piggy. It’s not that kind of π.”
Fozzie: “But I would like a banana cream pie!”
Miss Piggy: “Well, then what is that man doing with all those sheep in a circle?”
Fozzie: “Oh, that’s a shepherd’s pie, and he started with 8 sheep but when he rounded them up he now has 10.”
Kermit: “William Penn was famous as the Quaker who started the state of Pennsylvania. He had four aunts named Mabel, Edith, Kate, and Isabel. They baked many cakes and pies and sold them throughout the area. In one place, a slice of cherry pie went for 10 cents, next door a slice of apple pie went for 15 cents, and across the street, a slice of peach pie went for 20 cents.”
Fozzie: “Those must have been the pie rates of Penn’s aunts.”
Kermit: “And in one place, you can have your cake and Edith, too.”

While far from a math enthusiast, I do love a good excuse to celebrate. Happy Pi Day everyone!
Dedicated to Meshl, who introduced me to this magical holiday.
Celebrating the occasion with A Pecan Pie.
Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s an important part of the foundation of mathematics, most importantly geometry, where it is key to equations calculating the area of a circle, A = πr2, and the volume of a cylinder, V = πr2h.
Le 14 mars est l'occasion de célébrer Pi, le nombre irrationnel le plus célèbre au monde. 3/14, c'est la graphie américaine pour cette date, et aussi l'approximation raccourcie à deux décimales de ce nombre (3,14) qui représente le rapport constant entre la circonférence d'un cercle et son diamètre.
With all my ❤️ I thank you for your ⭐ or 💬 or just for 👀 it.

Today, March 14th, is π Day (Pi Day), celebrating the most famous mathematical constant: π ≈ 3.1416. A number that appears everywhere, from geometry to architecture, and it has a special connection to this photograph I captured at the Pantheon in Rome.
The Pantheon is a masterpiece of classical architecture, where π plays a fundamental role in its dome. Its diameter and height are equal, forming a perfect hemisphere that showcases the beauty of circular proportions. But the most fascinating aspect is how sunlight enters through the oculus at different times of the day, casting unique shapes onto the coffered dome.
In this image, I captured the moment when the sunlight passes through the oculus, illuminating the wall with an almost mystical shape. It’s not a trick, but rather the precise design of this nearly 2,000-year-old structure, which continues to amaze with its interplay of light and shadow.
Today, on π Day (Pi Day), this photo reminds me how mathematics and art combine in architecture to create wonders that transcend time. Happy π Day to all photography lovers, science enthusiasts, and admirers of the infinite beauty of circles!
I celebrated PiDay with Astro Pi Ed and Izzy who can calculate π to more decimals than I can!

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!
Yesterday was Pi Day, and to celebrate we shot a 120fps slow motion pie in the face video with the help of some of our FACTOR LED studio lights. Click here to see the video: youtu.be/p_cJoWmklNk
Apples, hazelnuts, raisins, cinnamon, graham flour...
What's not to like in a healthy pie?
Happy Pi-day (3.14)!

so glad that colemama (aka marie) reminded us!!!
found this great website above
that has 1,000,000 digits of Pi and
another one that has calculated it out to 1trillion digits-- amazing!!!
ODC the next level

For Pi Day this year, Steve made a banana cream pie with a pie crust “π” on top. There was a lot going on that day, with zoo class that morning and Steve picking up our new car in the afternoon, but I managed to get a picture of our pie before dinner.

I’ve been celebrating Pi Day with my daughters for quite a few years, and with this year being a “high precision” Pi Day (at 9:26:53am, the date and time in US ordering correspond to the first 10 digits of π, 3.141592653…), and it being my 10th anniversary at work at a company with “Math” right there in the company name I couldn’t not make a few punny pies. Unfortunately, my girls were off to Boston for the day (learning some elementary programming), so it was just me solo in the kitchen (not that they minded coming home to homemade pies.)
I made 4 pies this year; the two I’m posting today I only finished up this morning, as I was letting their respective fillings set up overnight before adding their toppings. I usually bake two kinds of pies for Pi Day: pies with geeky Pi puns (yesterday’s pies are both in this category), and pies that are recipes I’m experimenting with. This pie is the latter, and is inspired by spiced Mexican hot chocolate. One part of the experiment failed: for the “churro” crust, I actually wanted a deep-fried crust. My experimental technique (shape and dock the crust, freeze it solid, then unmold it from the pan and drop it hot oil while trying to hold it down with a perforated disposable aluminum pie plate, in hopes of using the dough’s attempt to float to force it to hold its shape) didn’t work, and I ended up with a very shallow, not-very-pie-like shell. I have another alternate technique I’m considering that might work, but that’ll have to wait for next time.

Ingredients
for the crust
crust for 1-crust pie (use your favorite recipe or a decent store-bought crust; this is a simple 3:2:1 flour:fat:liquid by-weight ratio crust with a little sugar and salt added)
1 tbl. melted butter
cinnamon sugar
for the filling
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1 c. heavy cream, cold
3 large eggs
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbl. water
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tbl. vanilla extract
8 tbl. unsalted butter, cut into 1/2” pieces and softened
for the topping
1 c. heavy cream, cold
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
cinnamon
Directions
Line a pie plate with the crust, crimp the edges, dock it with a fork, and refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes. Line the crust with foil and pie weights (or dry beans) and parbake it for 15-20 minutes at 350°F. Remove the pie weights and foil and continue baking until golden brown, another 5-10 minutes. While still warm, brush crimped edge and interior of the crust with the melted butter, and dust thoroughly with cinnamon sugar. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
Whip the heavy cream with a mixer to stiff peaks. Set aside in the refrigerator while you continue work on the filling.
Set a medium bowl over a saucepan of water. Set over low heat (you want the water to be just barely simmering). In the bowl, combine the eggs, water, sugar, and half of the spices, and mix continuously with a hand mixer at medium speed until the mixture is light and foamy and has come to a temperature of 160°F (this will take 6 to 10 minutes.) Remove from the heat and continue to mix at medium speed until it cools to room temperature, another 8 to 10 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and remaining spices and mix to combine thoroughly. Fold in the whipped heavy cream with a spatula just until no streaks remain. Pour the mixture into your prepared pie shell, smooth out the surface, then put in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
To top, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla together to firm peaks. Top the pie with the whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon when serving.

Happy Pi Day everyone!
P versus NP problem is one of most important unsolved problem in mathematics, more specifically in computer science. You might think the problem have nothing to do with everyday life for us, but it actually has giant impact depends on how it concludes. If this problem would concludes P = NP then, almost of all cryptography method can be broken using the conclusion. Which means you no longer can send password or credit card information safely. But if it concludes P ≠ NP then nothing would happen in our everyday life but it proofs that cryptography we use everyday(SSL) on the internet is really safe. In another words, the cryptography algorithms we use everyday haven't been proofed that they are really safe to use, but most experts think that cryptography algorithms are safe because anyone haven't found any algorithm to break them. But it is just what they believe, not what have been proofed formally. So this problem is the most interesting problem for me. Wishing this problem would be solved near future, hopefully while I'm living.
3月14日はπの日です。
P≠NP予想は数学（より正確には計算機科学）での未解決問題のうち最も重要な問題のうちのひとつです。何か難しそうな問題がどうなろうと私たちの日常には全く関係ないと思われるかもしれませんが、実は関係大有りなのです。もし、この問題がP = NPと証明された場合、その結果を使ってインターネット上で使われているほぼ全ての暗号を解くことが可能になります。つまり、安全にパスワードやクレジットカード情報を送ることができなくなります。しかし、もしP ≠ NPと証明された場合、インターネット上の暗号は本当に安全であると証明されます。言い換えると、今インターネット上でセキュリティを確保するために使われている暗号は、その解読方法が見つけられていないために大半の専門家が安全であると信じていますが、本当に安全であるかどうか厳密に検証されたわけではないということです。ということで、この問題は私が最も興味のある問題です。願わくば私が生きているうちに証明されて欲しいものです。

International Pi Day is a chance for math enthusiasts to celebrate the number pi - represented by its first three digits of 3.14. Many use the day to discuss the number, recite its infinite digits and eat plenty of Pie. It is celebrated on the same day every year - March 14, which this year is on Saturday. Happy Pi Day! March 14 ( 3.14). Any excuse to eat some yummy pie.
March 14th is Pi Day (3.14, get it?), and being a big ol' geek who loves to bake, I celebrate with some Pi Pies. Two of these will get turned into entries in the annual Serious Eats Pi Day baking competetion (along with a whole slew of how-to/making-of pictures), but they’re all to share. As it happens, March 14th is also my employment anniversary, at a company whose business involves lots of math–it’s right there in the name, in fact–so some of these will make it into the office, one is heading to my daughters’ school for their teachers, and we'll have a little bit at home.
I'll most likely be posting pics and recipes of most of these over the next few days, as I have time. Since two of them were made for the baking contest, recipes and instructions are up over at www.instructables.com
Peach-Mango Pie with a Lattice Crust
Almost missed the end of the day today, not watching the clock (although I actually consider my day from wake up time to bedtime, not strictly the date. I suppose I'd have to reconsider that if I still pulled all-nighters.)
Every year for the last few years, I've been celebrating Pi Day with the kids, which is tomorrow (OK, today, as I post this) - 3/14 as we write it in the US. And, as is our tradition, we baked some Pi Day Pie. On the left is an apple pie, which the girls will be bringing to school in the morning for their teachers; on the right is a Nutella pie (like a peanut butter pie, substituting Nutella); and right up front is a chocolate pecan pie. The apple and pecan pies are using recipes from the folks at Cooks Illustrated; the Nutella pie recipe is my own. I also made almost two dozen mini whoopie pies and a chocolate silk pie (not pictured, since it won't be done until tomorrow night when I apply whipped cream). The pecan, Nutella, and whoopie pies are headed into my office to share (Pi Day just happens to be my anniversary at my current workplace).
Set up some quick lighting that I know usually looks reasonable: halogen worklight camera right behind a diffuser, white bounce card camera left, with the room lights on above acting as fill. To get everything in focus, I had to really close up the aperture. I'll probably take a few more shots in the morning when I have some natural light to work with.
Very likely that tomorrow's shot will involve Pi Day in some way, too.

I usually bake two kinds of pies for Pi Day: pies with geeky Pi puns (yesterday’s pies are both in this category), and pies that are recipes I’m experimenting with. This pie is the latter, and was an excuse to incorporate some alcohol. If I were to make this again, I'd make three changes: I'd switch to a more traditional curd rather than a starch-based icebox filling for the lime filling; I'd incorporate tequila into all three components of the filling; and I'd put the gelatin layer on the bottom of the crust rather than between the meringue and lime fillings. The recipe below represents what I actually made this time, though.
I was tempted to egg-wash and apply pretzel salt to the crimped edge of the crust, but didn't. If anyone should make the recipe and give that a try, I'm curious to know what you think of the result.

Ingredients
for the crust
crust for 1-crust pie (use your favorite recipe or a decent store-bought crust; this is a simple 3:2:1 flour:fat:liquid by-weight ratio crust with a little sugar and salt added)
for the lime filling
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. corn starch
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
3 large eggs
1/2 c. fresh lime juice
2 tbl. butter, soft but still cool
grated lime zest from 1 lime
for the "Jello shot" layer
3 oz. lime juice
3 oz. water
2 oz. silver tequila
2 tbl. sugar
2 packets gelatin
zest of 1 lime
2 drops green food color (optional)
for the meringue
4 egg whites at room temperature
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions
Line a pie plate with the crust, crimp the edges, dock it with a fork, and refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes. Line the crust with foil and pie weights (or dry beans) and parbake it for 15-20 minutes at 350°F. Remove the pie weights and foil and continue baking until golden brown, another 5-10 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cornstarch and whisk until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the condensed milk, eggs, and lime juice, and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. It will thicken considerably when it boils. Boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the butter and lime zest.
Place the saucepan into a larger bowl filled with ice, and stir the filling occasionally until it is cool, about 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared crust, level it off, and refrigerate for an hour or so to set.
Make the "Jello shot" layer by combining the lime juice, water, and sugar in a saucepan, and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface to bloom. When the gelatin has bloomed, bring to a simmer to fully dissolve the gelatin. Remove from the heat and whisk in the zest, tequila, and food coloring if you're using it. Once it's cooled and beginning to thicken, pour over the filling already in the pie. Return the pie to the fridge for this layer to set completely, which will take an hour or so.
Finally, make the meringue for the topping. Put the egg whites and cream of tartar in the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (make sure the bowl and whisk are impeccably clean; and fat or grease will spoil the meringue.) Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan with a candy thermometer and put over medium-high heat. Bring to 240°F. A bit before (20° or so early) the syrup reaches the target temperature, start whisking the egg whites. When they reach soft peaks, turn the mixer off.
When the syrup reaches the target temperature, immediately remove from the heat, turn the mixer back on at medium speed, and pour the syrup carefully in a very thin stream into the mixer bowl. Aim for the spot just outside where the whisk hits the bowl; you don't want the whisk to fling hot syrup all over the place, just incorporate it slowly. When the syrup is completely added, add the vanilla and continue to whisk at medium-high speed until the exterior of the work bowl no longer feels warm to the touch, 8-10 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, cover the entire pie with a dome of meringue, making sure to contact the crimped edge of the crust all the way around. Lightly toast the outside of the meringue with a pastry torch or other blowtorch.
Because this is an Italian meringue (cooked meringue) this will be pretty stable, so it will hold for a bit if you're not serving right away.
I definitely got my money's worth from these blueberries! :). I promise this is the last time you will see these, but being Pi day and all, the nerd in me had to do this shot!!!
Pi is 3.1415926 and today (in American notation) is 3/14/15. This morning at 9:26:53 it was the perfect pi moment! The next one will be in 100 years!
And now after the math... do you want some pie?

This is the only photo I'll be able to upload this week since tomorrow I'll travel to Lapland (Finland) to photograph the Aurora Borealis! I'll be back next week, I hope to do some interesting night photos :)
I'll also miss the "Pi day" (14/3) this year so I decided to prepare a simple photo today about it and upload it now. For the light "path" I used a kind of sable toy my friend Ignasi gave me some days ago, the rest was done with the 50mm f/1.8 and a bokeh template with the shape of Pi (which I also used last year).
Thanks for viewing, see you next week!
