And here it is again. The celebration of that beautiful number, the mathematical uniqueness that occurs in our life repeatedly, whether you realize it or not. This is PI day: Mar 14 (3.14).

Since I’ve been doing this the past few years, I’m not going to repeat all the fun facts about PI. But I will nevertheless give you some more interesting facts and links I found recently.

1. The Pi day Sudoku puzzle.

2. Things that equal Pi. Btw, the 360 blog has some really interesting posts and you should definitely subscribe to it.

3. Oh and of course, the recent appreciation of the reverent number even by politicians. Check this out.

4. And if you want to buy some swag for your PI day party, I suggest getting these beautiful PI shaped ice maker.

5. Update: Just found out that old Al’ was born on PI day. How fitting ?! Thanks to Neatorama for the piece of trivia.

Hmm.. Another year. Another day. Time is flying I tell you …

And there you go: My job description.
