Most here forgot including nearly me. Of course I have to post something to celebrate of one of my favorite irrational numbers.

As a side note, I chose symbol for font but it didn't work in GIMP. I had to use Window's Paint (then resized the bitmap in GIMP since 72 is the largest character) to get the pi symbol. What gives? I won't report yet another bugzilla in GIMP so, if there's one that already exists or if someone else can confirm this font issue, please let me know.

lylejk: i haven't heard anyone mention pi day in ages. nice sphere, like a glass ornament for a geek's christmas tree.
anyone wants to celebrate with some apple pi... ?

Thanks AnMal. Still concerned about the font issue; thought I heard a blurb about this in the recent past (one reason I decided not to add to the bugzilla), but maybe I'm just imagining this. Anyway, thought I would combine fibonaci (Droste) with the pi to get this result.

@Lyle: Re-fonts

I think you're remembering this thread, and it was you that found the bugzilla for it: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5396&start=10#p67939

And speaking of pi: Measuring Pi with pies

Kevin

Two really nice designs.

I truely do have half-heimerz Kevin. lol

Appreciate the comments he4rty.

Technically it's "Pi Approximation Day." pi =/= 3.14

Since I used the symbol, it's the exact number Merrak. lol

As a side note, decided (and did so earlier but forgot to post it here) to upload the seamless texture at Deviant.

Didn't see your video post (way too focused on the font issue when I responded to you Kevin; even added to the bugzilla thread my disdain a few minutes ago. lol). Enjoyed the video.

You have a point there Graechan. lol

I looked up Pi Day on the wiki....there are two Pi Days a year, and that one is the second one.

In the US 22 July would be written 7/22, or "Reciprocal of pi day".

In one of my classes, we have a few international students who didn't know why pi was 143 in the US. I had to explain all about varieties of date formats so everyone knew what was up.

I told them that in Europe, pi day would be April 31 because that would be written 31/4 - and to celebrate, I would bring everyone a homemade pie on April 31. I hope they're not disappointed they won't get a pie from me - but it's for the best. I can't cook pies at all.

No; I didn't forget. It's just work keeps my inspiration down. lolol

Still, Happy Pi Day to you all.

Well; not such an original idea but at least something. lol

Thanks, Wallace. Now we still have the Ides (that would be today) and, of course, St. Patty's to look forward to.

I missed my Sunday pieeee! Does it mean you have to wait 364.242199 days to have the next one?
Lyle it's fine, but I can't give you 10 out of 10 because Akira Haraguchi used a very long Archimedean Spiral

lolol

Like I said, Nidhogg; not an original idea. Works killing any creative I may or may not have had. Need a VaCa. lololololol

Still, you have today (Ides) and, of course, St. Patty's Day to get something done. As for me, it's my Friday, so it will be a busy day for me, but then I have the next few days (sans Wednesday for my part-time job which I'm scheduled for) to chill.
