You know Pi right? 3.14 something something something, on forever. Did you know how much stuff revolves around Pi? </p> <p>- Pi is never-ending<br /> - It is irrational, random number that doesn’t repeat or loop - 1.2411 trillion digits of pi have been calculated by a computer<br /> - MIT emails acceptance letters on Pi Day<br /> - MIT Cheer is: Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3.14159!<br /> - You can calculate your hat size by measuring the circumference of your head, then dividing by Pi and rounding off to the nearest one-eighth of an inch<br /> - Only 20 digits are necessary to calculate the circumference of the earth down to a fraction of an inch. Only 39 for the known universe down to an electron <strong>(this one boggles my mind)</strong></p> <p>Noelle Filippenko and her husband Alex Filippenko (National Professor of the Year 2006) have taken upon themselves to promote National Pi Day! Their website <a href="http://www.pizone.org" target="_blank">pizone.org</a> <em>(currently under construction)</em> will feature learning, experiencing, and the celebration of Pi. Do you love Pi?

Jason finally asked me to write a blog post!!! I don't want this to sound like I'm complaining, because I would never complain on Sabrina's birthday. In fact, I'm kinda happy that I've only been asked to write 1 blog post in the 72 days I've been wearing shirts for a living. But, I did think you needed to know. Now, back on to business. Or as Sabrina's husband Chris would say it, <a href="http://hargraveproductions.com" target="_blank">Biz-Nass</a>!</p> <p>Chris is a buddy of mine from college, and the captain of <a href="http://hargraveproductions.com" target="_blank">Team Hargrave</a> Alaska. Chris has always been WAY more athletic than me, and I think that's why he's married and I'm not. He met his beautiful wife Sabrina playing Coed-Softball, and now they're on Volleyball, Soccer, Dodgeball, and most importantly Basketball teams. I won't let them play Kickball anymore, you should know why!</p> <p>Here is a little stat sheet to fill you in the couple:</p> <p><strong>Favorite NBA team:</strong><br /> Sabrina - Suns<br /> Chris - Spurs</p> <p><strong>Favorite Number:</strong><br /> Sabrina - 13<br /> Chris - 23</p> <p><strong>Height:</strong><br /> Sabrina - 5'4''<br /> Chris - 6'2''</p> <p>Number of times Chris has held Sabrina scoreless playing 1-on-1: Once.<br /> Number of times Chris has said he would hold Sabrina scoreless: Every time.</p> <p>With all that love, what better way to say Happy Birthday, than to pay your buddy to wear a <a href="http://hargraveproductions.com" target="_blank">Team Hargrave</a> jersey! And by the looks of the number, I'm on her team! Happy Birthday Sabrina, and I'll talk to you soon Chris!</p> <p>***Sabrina & Chris might not get to see this post until after her birthday. They're staying at the most Alaskan sounding resort ever, the <a href="http://www.alyeskaresort.com" target="_blank">Alyeska Prince Hotel</a>. So please please please tell her Happy Birthday in the comment section. With the beauty of technology, I'll edit this post later and it will look like I didn't even ask. So, to commemorate my first blog post... Wish Sabrina Happy Birthday please.</p> <p>Now go enjoy your Saturday!</p> <p>Evan<br /> 1 of 72, out.</p><div style="float:left;width:350px;"> <h3>Jason's Photos</h3> <p>» <a href="http://youtube.com/iwearyourshirt" target="_blank">Videos on YouTube</a></p> </div> <div style="float:left;width:350px;"> <h3>Evan's Photos</h3> <p>» <a href="http://youtube.com/iwearyourshirt" target="_blank">Videos on YouTube</a></p> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Day 2 of SXSW, Comment to WIN IdeaPaint, ShoeMall.com Hats, IWYS Stickers and a secret prize from yosoh</h1> <p>jason — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:39:43 +0000</p> <p>Seeing as how I'm in Austin, TX for SXSW it would be very hard to play Pictionary Sunday this weekend.
