Two articles today on everyone's favorite constant: pi. They both talk about the randomness of pi, or more spefically, if it is truly random at all. For as this article points out, there is no conclusive proof that all the digits of pi are in fact random. It could be we just haven't found a pattern yet. The second article talks about proving the randomness of pi through normality. The real weird part of all this is that all this research has no practical purposes other than as a brain exercise, but yet it's sought after so much. Such is the quest for knowledge.
Tropical Storm Barry is hitting Florida right now, before it leaves off toward Texas. We didn't get much rain here at Gainesville, but my family in Tampa got poured on all day. At least it's not a hurricane just yet.
I have a headache.
