Without an "e"

Today is this not this.

And the Almanac of Miscellaneous Amusement provides us with an appropriate limerick for the day:
If inside a circle a line
Hits the center and goes spine to spine
And the line's length is "d"
the circumference will be
d times 3.14159 (Mathematical Limericks)

And Fire Ant Gazette has a link to a great computational website that allows you to find your birthday in the digits of pi. Now that's useful. (OK the almanac had that link too and for some unknown reason I informed the Gazette about the calculator.)

I mention these two regular reads of mine because I enjoy them and hope maybe you will too. Though the Almanac of Miscellaneous Amusement is the exact opposite of me in a number of ways - She's blue in a red state from the western end of I-70 and I'm red in a blue state at the eastern end of I-70 - her site is devoted all sorts of fun trivia. The Fire Ant Gazette is filled with interesting observations on the world and culture around him.

Speaking of regular reads I'd like to thank PostWatch for generously linking to me yesterday while he was in the middle of an Instalanche. Like me he enjoys critiquing the Washington Post.
