Pi(e)

Pi(e) Yes, Ill admit that when I first wrote Pi(e), I thought of p times e even though I meant Pi/Pie. Anyways, as Pi Day approaches, I thought Id put up a post that collects some of the best pi(e) references out there. For those who are awaiting news on Pi Day, I hope this will be a fun diversion for you as you wait. And for those who are not awaiting such news, here are some fun pi(e) references! From yesterdays Todays Big Thing: And, of course, the Pi Song: And actually, if you play both of these videos at the same time, you get an interesting little meta-mashup. (Love you, YouTube Doubler!) One of my colleagues also made an apple pie for the office today and I was going to take a picture of it, but by the time I remembered, it was all gone. Instead, I give you a transcript of the email that was sent this morning: From: Erin To: MIT Admissions Office Subject: Apple Pie Date: Thurs, March 10, 2011 at 8:52AM Good morning, There is delicious apple pie made by Jamilla in the fridge! Please come have a piece! Erin Edit/update, 3/14/11, ~8pm: Some more great pi(e) references: A pretty sweet video posted by Corey on Elizabeths Pi-nal Countdown blog post: Courtesy of my colleague Ingrid: http://wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/14/numberplay-pi-in-the-sky/ Today, for Pi Day, Kris brought in a chocolate cream pie, which was quickly consumed (but at least I got some pictures this time!) (To the right of the half-eaten pie youll also see some homemade Amish friendship bread that Matt brought in, too!) Here is a picturesque slice cut by Kirsten (my attempt at cutting a piece was awful and too quickly consumed to have been photographed NOM NOM NOM): So, feel free to post your favorite pi/pie reference(s) in the comments below and Ill add them in! Do you have a favorite pi song? Or, you could make your favorite flavor of pie and send in a picture (mines pumpkin)! Or you could try making a pie in the shape of pi while singing your favorite pi song and reciting the digits of pithe possibilities are endless
