It’s coming soon:
3/14/15 9:26:53 (twice, if you’re using a 12-hour clock).
A nano-second of silence for the actual moment of pi!
It’s coming soon:

A nano-second of silence for the actual moment of pi!
More correctly rounded, isn’t it 3/14/15 9:26:54 ?
Well, for you Yankees, it may be soon…
But the rest of the world is gonna miss out on all the fun.
It ain’t fair, I tells ya.
I want a Pi Day, too!!!
(But come on, now…let’s all admit that it’s more sensible to write the day,month,year…It’s just a little more logical, innit? Ascending order of bigness, or something…)
The more logical way, as programmers continuously tell you heathens, is year/month/day, YYYY/MM/DD, 2015/03/14, most significant values first, you can use an alphabetical sort to sort it, avoids confusion and it’s Y2K, Y2031 and Ywhatever compliant for the next 7985 years.
But do users listen? nooooooo
Do not worry, Frodo. YYYY-MM-DD is also the way the Chinese write dates. Eventually, the format will take over through sheer osmosis.
I knitted this hat for my kid.
Actually, I knitted it twice, because the first time through, he looked at it and said, “That’s a really awesome…oh, these numbers are wrong, Mom.” And he couldn’t wear it, of course, because his friends would know.
His sister, who is less worried about her friends opinions on the value of pi, got the incorrect one, and he got a new one. He says he is going to wear it on pi day!
I’m curious about which number(s) were wrong.
If you want to be logical, it should be year, month, day (then hour [in 24-hour format], minute, second if needed)…that way it sorts properly.
Something sweet do I desire.
Bring me Pi to quench my fire!
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme pi which I desire!
I can see what you did there.
Now bring my Pi lest I despair!
When I did the numbers, I followed a chart in the pattern, but clearly it was the wrong chart. So the first hat has 3.14626 on it.
Of course, it SHOULD have 3.1415926 on it. What was I thinking. And why was the chart I followed wrong? Got me.
(On rechecking the pattern, there are two charts: one is correct, and one is the one I followed.)
It’s a nice warm hat anyway.
