Happy Pi Day!
Posted by Eric on 14 March 2001, 06:08 GMT

Today's always a festive day around these parts...after all, it's Pi Day (3/14), perhaps our favorite holiday around here (rivaled only, of course, by e Day and Mole Day). So anyway, before I head off for a heavy dose of pi celebrations, I'll point you all to last year's article, which contains lots of wholesome information about everyone's favorite number, courtesy of our own Andrew Selle.

So...yeah, Happy Pi Day!

Update (Eric): And while we're on the subject, let's take a moment to salute those die-hard Pi celebrators—just take a look at this loyal reader and Pi Day devotee. Goes to show you that all your pi are indeed belong to us.

That's a good idea. Change the alien invasion animation to a pi version and dedicate it to the pi holiday.

My first Game on my TI-82 (now deceased) was an RPG where you and all of the townspeople were represented by the PI character (the enemies were e)

Mancala is a game that I "ported" to the 89. It's really an African board game, but it makes a pretty good calculator game too. Don't let the fact that it's only gotten 100 downloads in 3 days stop you from getting it. It really is pretty good, and I would say so even if I hadn't made it. There is a link to the download above. PLEASE download it; Jason is mocking me b/c he has approx. 200x as many downloads as I do.

I just realized that the link above does not, in fact, go to the mancala download. Forgive my error and download it via the link above.

mancala is a really cool game wher you jump flattened marbles and take them or someting. I forget the rules, but I remember it was the best thing to ever come out of africa (excluding the first jazz players)

It`s actually a reason for double celebration since it`s also the birthday of a bloke called Albert Einstein

Never mind the fact that I had my giant Calculus final today... AND I USED PI ON IT EXTENSIVELY!?

Obviously, you need to read nickd.org more often. *Much* more often. :)

Einstein was nothing. Did he make Alien Invasion?

I think the more important question to be asking here is: could Einstein have made mancala? Did Einstein even know how to play mancala? I thought not.

"nickd Returns to Shamelessly Plug Website"

CHICAGO (ASIM)— nickd was once again spotted on the ticalc.org message boards today, saying something about his calculus final, the irrational number known as "pi", and of course, his website.
Eric Sun could not be reached for comment, but fellow Pi Day celebrator Andy Selle said, "nickd's just pops up every once in awhile and plugs his website. It's quite sad actually."
When reached for comment, Magnus Handler mumbled something about "those crazy Americans" and promptly hung up.
March 14, also known to geeks and nerds as "Pi Day", for it falls on 3-14 (well, at least according to how Americans write their dates..). Possible celebrations are mentioned in the article written last year by the infamous nickd (one obvious suggested celebration includes "brining a pie to one's math class").

Yes, there are spelling mistakes. But hey, I live in Alabama, so that justifies everything. :)

It's Henrik that mutters stuff about Americans, not Magnus. :)
Most of the time, anyway.

And, um, "Handler"? :)
