National Pi Day

National Pi Day? Congress makes it official via /.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a resolution introduced two days earlier that designates March 14, 2009 (3/14, get it?) as National Pi Day. It urges schools to take the opportunity to teach their students about Pi and “engage them about the study of mathematics.

Let’s hope this isn’t the end of the road for Congress in improving math and science eduction.

Carnival Valor – Part 2

In January, my wife and I took a Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Valor. This is the second in a two part series to bring you some geeky “behind the scenes” stuff about what it takes to bring you such a good time. In part 1, we got a tour of a good part of the ship (trust me, there’s more that we didn’t get to.) In part 2, we talk to one of the bridge officers, senior engineers, the cruise director, and the on-board IS manager. Good stuff!

Nerdi Gras

Happy Nerdi Gras

Ok, so I’m not sure how serious this is, but it is too geeky to leave out of the Technorama fodder.

Nerdi gras, the nerd’s equivalent of mardi gras, begins today. It lasts from the square root of Christmas until Pi day.

(Christmas is 12/25; the square root of 1225 is 35, represented as
3/05. Pi day is, of course, pi (3.14) day, or 3/14.)
