July 22, 2019 : Happy Pi Approximation Day!
It might not be the real deal, but it’s close enough (sorta). Well, at the very least, it deserves its props. Happy Pi Approximation Day!
An interesting tidbit I recently learned is that today is also called Casual Pi Day. I had not heard about this before, but it was on the internet so it must be true.

March 14, 2019 : Happy Pi Day!
Do I really need to say what today is? Unfortunately… yes, probably. Either way, today is that great day where Pi gets its due.
Things are a little busy at the moment so I need to keep this brief. Be sure to take a few moments today to fully appreciate the awesomeness that is Pi. Take a look at a circle and smile a few moments longer knowing you can calculated not only its area but the circumference thanks in part to my (and your) favorite irrational number.

July 22, 2018 : Happy Pi Approximation Day!
Today is Pi Approximation Day… that special day where we are reminded of Pi. Actually, to be fair, I am always reminded of Pi. Is that weird? Probably. Either way, let’s bask in its glory.
This is the point in the post where I usually give some random fact about the day, but there are only so many tidbits about Pi Approximation Day; and it looks like I’ve shared them all over the years. As such, we should all just take a moment and reflect on Pi’s greatness, which has two days dedicated to its likeness.

You know what day it is? Of course you do – it’s the nerdiest day of them all, and this year it has been made extra nerdy special with an animation:
After you re-watch (and share) the video several times, be sure to reflect on the awesomeness that is Pi. Although, if you come to this site, I guess you already do that. Then again, if you regularly visit this site, you are probably fictional. Either way, Happy Pi Day!

July 22, 2017 : Happy Pi Approximation Day!
Happy Pi Approximation Day, nerds! It may not be the real deal, but I like it nearly as much (get it?).
Apparently, some mathematicians and physicists in recent years have argued to replace Pi with tau, which is the ratio of circumference to the radius and thus twice the value of Pi. The ridiculousness continues in that Pi Day would get replaced with Tau Day, taking place June 28th. Madness.

March 14, 2017 : Happy Pi Day!
Things have been pretty hectic lately (hence the lack of posts), but I still have to make sure to wish everybody a Happy Pi Day!
Whether you’re soaking in the warm sun or digging yourself out of the snow, be sure to take a few minutes to appreciate all that Pi has done to make your life better.
Moving forward, I hope to post some updates with the latest short. Things are moving forward – although perhaps not quite as fast as I’d like (but does it ever?). Â That said, stay tuned.

July 22, 2016 : Happy Pi Approximation Day!
You know what day it is – actually, you probably don’t – but I sure do. It’s Pi Approximation Day! So be sure to nerd it up today… or more so than normal.
It isn’t the most recognized holiday in July (or popular Pi-related day), but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked. At least that’s how I feel. No doubt this can be attributed to my irrational love of Pi… and puns.

March 14, 2016 : Happy Pi Day!
It’s that time of year – the glorious day of days that is Pi Day!
There was quite the big deal about last year’s Pi Day since it was 3/14/15, which accurately carried Pi to 4 decimal places. For me, all Pi Day’s are special so I didn’t give it any extra attention.
However, this year’s Pi Day is a more accurate representation of Pi to 4 decimal places (Pi being 3.14159265…). Whether you’re truncating or rounding, you should know abbreviating Pi can lead to disastrous results.
In either case, enjoy the day. It’s special no matter what year.

Happy Pi Approximation Day! Say what you will about my love for today, but at least you can’t call it irrational (I did it!)…
This approximation for Pi dates back to Archimedes, the famed Greek scholar, who was able to hone in on Pi’s value even further from 22/7 – and all before decimal notation was used. It turns out, the dude was pretty smart.

If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time, then you probably don’t exist. In the event you are real, then you should know how much I enjoy Pi Day.
So take a few moments and think where you would be without Pi. You wouldn’t be able to calculate the area or circumference of circles, for starters. Can you live with that?
