It's March 14, and any good geek knows what that means: It's Pi Day!

Yep, 3/14 corresponds to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter (3.1415926535. . .).

If you're celebrating today (and why wouldn't you be?) then I've got the perfect way to celebrate: ThinkGeek's Pi-Tini!

Featured with their awesome Pi Ice Cube Trays ($9), it's the perfect cocktail recipe for the Pi-loving (and of age) geek!

Do you celebrate Pi Day? Tell me how you do in the comments!

The Cat's Dead, But Here's My Geekshot!

Trishgeek responded to my requests for geek shots and shared a cute picture of what she calls her "day-to-day look."

"Note the t-shirt," she says.

I didn't get the "Schrödinger's Cat is Dead" reference (I know, what kind of geek am I?) but I did a little PI work and found that Schrödinger's cat is a famous illustration of the principle in quantum theory of superposition, proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. To which I can only respond, "that's what she said" because I don't remember a thing I learned in physics class except Newton's Laws of Motion. Bad news for my private school education, good news for you because you can get the same shirt at Think Geek.
