Urban Threads has released a mathematically marvelous embroidery design to celebrate! “Pi Equals Delicious” will be yummy on creations for math teachers and number-crunching mad scientists of all stripes to celebrate this most circular of holidays. Check it out.
There’s a popular Facebook event to help you remember that on Pi Day 2015 at 9:26am there are even more accurate decimal place digits than usual: 3.1415926! Until then, try to enjoy 3.1410, 11, 12, 13, & 14 even though they’re not exactly right.
Korean company WONYONG markets a product called Π-Water. The site is in English, though some of the translations are a bit rough. From what I can tell, “Π-Water” (which also may be known as “Tarama Water”) seems to be some sort of drinking water, designed to mimic the water found inside the cells of living organisms. They suggest that it can also be used in food preparation, agriculture, and even in swimming pools.
I’m not entirely sure what this product has to do with Pi, thought the bottles are round. I’ve never seen this product on the shelf in the US or southern Europe (or anywhere else, for that matter), nor have I seen it sold online anywhere.
There are probably many products that use the letter π in their name, like π perfume.
Over at Facade.com, they’ve got a neat little utility for searching the digits of Pi, if you’re not inclined to search them manually. Their idea is that you can “find yourself in Pi” by searching for your birthday, thought the utility can find any string of numbers you choose. According to the search engine’s page, it searches the first 1254543 digits of Pi, looking for the number you provide.
Celebrate Pi Day in style by wearing a beret with the first ten digits of pi encoded in bands of reverse stockinette stitch.
