Pi in the Sky, Artists Fill the SF Bay Area With w/ first 1000 Digits of Pi

Looks like Pi is still ahead, in the Tau vs. Pi arms race.

The headline here at HN really needs to add the word "Sky" between "Area" and "With", put "Skywriters" in place of "Arists", or both.

Interesting that it was a failed kickstarter but they did it anyway. <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ishky/pi-in-the-sky?ref=live" rel="nofollow">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ishky/pi-in-the-sky?ref=...</a>

They really should have done this for Pi day. I may have missed it in the article, was there anything significant about their choosing yesterday for this event?

I'm all for obsessing over computing &#38; visualizing pi ... but ... wow. That's nuts.

What would happen if you made Pi = 1, then adjust all other numbers accordingly?

How did they do that?

And people are worried about oil? Not in the Bay Area!
