Happy Pi-day!
I have to interupt work on part 2 of “How to get that first job in Engineering” (which is actually getting long enough to be parts 2 and 3) and point out that today is Pi Day!
That’s right. March 14th is Pi Day. 3/14. Thje ratio of a circle’s diameter to its circumference. Maybe celebrating at 1:59 gets you a couple extra geek points.
In honor of Pi Day, I point you to a site that translates the digits of pi into sound. I hate to say music, because any mapping of 0-9 to notes that I use isn’t very harmonious.
Pi has now been calculated to more than 1.2411 trillion digits, without any signs of a pattern emerging.
And here is a link to the movie Pi, just becasue my wife hates it.
Anyway, Happy Pi Day!

Loved the music mapping! I don’t agree. I found a couple combinations that were pretty nice actually. Of course, I could be tone deaf.
Thank you, thank you for adding something fresh to the page. Great break for us non-engineer non-seekers of jobs!
