Student Recites 8,784 Digits of Pi

Gaurav Rajav, 15, had hoped to recite 10,790 digits and set a new record in the United States and North America..."I'm kind of disappointed, but I guess I did OK," said Gaurav, a junior at Salem High School.

OK???! Crap, I can barely remember my postal code...let alone 8,784 digits of a non-repeating number.

Gaurav's parents promised him an XBox 360 video game console if he had reached his goal. His father, Jogesh Rajav, jokingly offered to get him "an Xbox, but no game."

Ouch....no game! Bring the pain.

The Academy Is...

I'll say it again...my new favourite band: "The Academy Is". Their new cd Almost Here is fantastic.

Get into it.

Who's Your Yanni?

This hot off the presses....Yanni Arrested For Domestic Beatdown

I find it hilarious that Yanni is arrested for alleged domestic violence...what's he gonna do..play a really mean mixolydian scale on a harpsichord whilst giving "dagger" eyes?

I found this about as likely as being beat down by David Copperfield...who one would imagine would spend most of the time flying around on invisible cables with his mystical stare....oooooh!

Spring is in the air....

A little bit of sun today, a little glimmer of Spring....

Soon it will be "Goodbye" to my winter peeves...people walking on the streets instead of on sidewalks, people parking 3 feet away from any other cars, thus limiting the already limited supply of parking spots, people who shovel their driveways into the street, etc....

However...have discovered some fab new music in the last couple of days....put these bands in your pipe and smoke 'em: The Academy Is, and Goldfrapp.

Simpsons

If you like the Simpsons....you'll appreciate this.
