Pi – Songs at YouTube

I’ve posted on Pi before, here about pi-day in Second Life, and here, a year later, and both with pi-day (March 14th, written as 3/14) as the immediate cause. I don’t like to repeat myself, so the last years I’ve celebrated pi-day on my own, watching some pi-video’s at youtube. However, this post about pi is without reason: pi-day is already over and pi-approximation day (22/7) is still far away, but I found some interesting video’s I would like to share.
It is difficult to memorize the digits (my personal record now is 30), but a song will help you, here is a video:

This one is also interesting, based on “Don McLean’s “American Pie”:

And here: the Pi(ano) – song: 3.1415 92653 58979 32384 62643 38327 transformed into a piano tune, following the algorhythm: 1 = c, 2 = d etc.

  • The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge

    Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.

    – David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

  • Geek Attitude

    The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
    Definitely the only way to travel.
