#piday

2025-06-17

In March of 2023, my kiddo had recently been diagnosed with #CrohnsDisease, so when the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation did a Pie Day fundraiser, I agreed to let my family hit me with one pie for every $50 I raised.

When I made that deal, I had no idea that I would raise over $750! But a promise is a promise.

That was over two years ago, but I am not a video producer, and it took a long time for my #ADHD brain to find itself in the right space to edit this all together. Better late than never though, right? And I’m really happy with how it turned out.

If you can draw a circle in pixel art, you can prove π = 4. Happy Pi Day!

A zoomed-in light gray pixel art disc with diameter 64 cells. The edges of cells around the disc are marked alternately red, yellow, green, and blue. The top left quadrant has 16 red edges, or 64 total cell edges, giving the whole circle 256 edges. Perimeter 256 divided by diameter 64 equals 4.

Belated #PiDay post: occasionally I'll have a long-overdue go at a high school problem, then write it up for 3/14. This didn't get started quite that way, but it's in the same spirit. #mathstodon

I'm late, but my #piday hot take is that pi actually has only about 70 digits.

That's the maximum number of significant digits you can have when doing geometry to planck length precision at size of the universe scale.

Any attempt to include more digits is just intentionally introducing inaccuracy to your results

If you're curious about last week's #PiDay article that used a FreeDOS program to "measure" π by counting pixels, here's a follow-up.

It's about how to write an academic journal article in groff— but really, it was an excuse to explain why the method gives π=2.828 🤓

Short version: it measures a square inside the circle, so the best you can get is 8cos(π/4) or π=2✓2

*Could be explained better, but the diagrams look really nice! 🤣

Another great print from @theirongiant, this time to celebrate .

Even though the ImageWriter is only 144 DPI, the look of a vintage color print is undeniably charming! Love the pixellated print to my modern laser, too.

I made this for PI day

My original character Tycho, a cream cat, is wearing glasses and points to a blackboard with a stick. There's a big PI symbol and 3.14 on the board.

“[Pi Day] was founded [in 1988] by physicist Larry Shaw, who at the time was on staff at the Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco. It began at an Exploratorium staff retreat in Monterey, California, which Shaw and his colleagues took to mark three years since the death of the museum's founder, Frank Oppenheimer, the brother of famed Manhattan Project leader J. Robert Oppenheimer.”
