Happy Pi Day!

Sadly, the celebration this year is more than a little subdued, and not just because Pi Day falls on a Saturday.

I had actually planned to do Pi Day (observed) on Monday at work. I’d even ordered pies six days in advance. Unfortunately, that was overtaken by events.

So, in lieu of pie, have some Pi: a blog post from Timothy Mullican about his record-setting calculation of Pi to 50 trillion digits, on what’s basically commodity hardware.

(Wikipedia’s chronology of Pi computations.)
