I turned 41 today.

And got to go for my first ride of the year.

Only 48 degrees, plenty of snow on the ground, but I'll take it.

Has anyone ever found the end of PI?  Has anyone even found some kind of pattern?

iirc it's non-repeating, and non-terminating

There is no pattern, or it could be shortened.

There is no end.

Which leads to what I think is one of life's neatest little paradoxes. Draw any circle. It's finite. It's tangible. It's infinitely knowable. But its appearance is deceiving. What's the area of that finite knowable space? The EXACT area? You'll never know since Pi is non-terminating and non-repeating.

That little fact makes me happy for some reason. Something about having something completely unknown and unknowable sitting right there all nonchalant. Like it's normal. Almost invisible unless you think about it.
