Many years ago, I don’t remember how many exactly, I was challenged by my High School math teacher, that if I could memorize all the digits of π that were on the poster (86) above the white board, that I would get an ‘A’ on the final without having to take it. I spent a week or two, I even wrote a program for the TI-83 to help me learn it. In the end I learned somewhere around 280 digits of π and got that ‘A’.

From then until now, I have always held a special place in my heart for this number of numbers. I own the movie π, I own the book a history of π and I have spent the last eleven to twelve years incredibly interested in this number. Back in 1998 or so I actually ran a site dedicated to π on geocities that is now long gone and forgotten.

So in keeping with the color scheme of that old site I used to run, which I now realize was very Matrix-esque, have a happy π day!

Happy π day!

PS: From my days as an astrophysics major, I was taught that really only the first 42 digits of π are useful for computational purposes. But what fun is that!? Keep learning and cranking out those digits of π!

There was a date timestamp in the HTTP request of “Wed, 34 Apr 3119 26:46:54 GMT”.

Not only does this prove that users from the future are browsing our sites but it also proves that some time in the future we will add extra days into the calendar and add extra hours into the day.

Apparently time travel is possible. Bravo Doc Brown.

I have a feeling that Apple is behind this. While there are numerous requests during that time period, one of those hits came from a browser using the Webkit rendering engine. And Apple has created a piece of software called “Time Machine”. I think that the “Time Machine” software and the Webkit rendering engine are running a Delorean. Now to find out where they got their “Flux Capacitor” from. And plutonium…Damn these guys at Apple are serious.

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
“big picture” oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

This just absolutely freaks me out. I see the dancer spinning clockwise and anti-clockwise. It switches while I am watching. I apparently use both the right and left side of my brain equally.
