I considered posting 1oo,000 digits of Pi which, until recently, was as far as anyone has ever really wanted to publish on a popular web site, but it was 116 pages long. So, you can just look it up here. The old record for calculations was 22 trillion. Emma Haruka Iwao just knocked that out of the sky with 32 trillion. Everyone needs a hobby for their free time.
I know I am impressed.
I have always been impressed with π . It is a lot like asking me about my grand kids. You never hear the end of it.
God is in the numbers in this case. He is infinite and, for all we can tell, so is Pi.
Pi is also a lot like life and like pie.
You can only eat it one slice at a time.
It is circular in some ways.
It is linear in others.
It expands with every step.
It also seems to be cyclical.
It has certain parameters, but it expands to make room for new possibilities.
It can be sweet, but bitter like rhubarb if you forget the sugar.
It can be fruity, nutty, or rich.
It can be very satisfying or leave you wanting more.
Pi and Pie are coincidentally connected, but then, so are all of us.
I could go on and on, but then, so does Pi.
Happy Pi Day.
Have a slice of life on me today.
