I found this mathically delicious Pi Pie Dish a few days after writing my March 14th pi day gifts post, and I couldn’t resist sneakin’ it in! The play on words is fantastic, of course, but many chefs and home cooks have a healthy appreciation for teh mathematics (quick – how many ounces are in a cup?) and the pi pie pan would make a great gift. See? You can have your pi and eat it too!

Just a quickie post to let you know about a limited time GameStop coupon code (online only) for “buy 1, get 1 free” on their selection of used games.
The cheapest game in your shopping cart will end up being the freebie, of course, but it’s a pretty swanky deal – and you can also get free shipping on orders over $25. Use UBOGO in the GameStop promotional code box – and be quick! The offer is only good through March 22nd 2010.

It’s March 14th, pi-nally! (I’ll wait a few minutes for you to stop chuckling at my punning GENIUS.) What is Pi Day, you ask? Naught but a cheeky holiday – nay, celebration! – observed by quality nerds and math enthusiasts the world over to celebrate the Greek letter of Pi ( π ), which is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi = 3.1415926535… so it’s only fitting that March 14th (3.14) = Pi Day. And now that you’re all edjumacated, let’s look at some awesome holiday-themed gifts that you’ll absolutely pi’ne over. (Somebody, stop me!)
There’s an awesome collection of “math appreciation” and Pi Day Gifts out there, but my favorites are the Albert Einstein action figure (“go go, Gadget Relativity Theory!”); the fantastic – and refreshing! – Pi shaped ice cube tray; and the t-shirt with its iconic symbol constructed from the first 4993 digits of Pi. Freakin’ genius!

Ahhh, Tetris. The maddeningly simple yet utterly challenging game that’s been adapted for nearly every console and gaming system out there. Many consider it to be amongst the top 5 video games of all time – so why not celebrate that legacy by blingin’ it up in sterling silver and gemstones?
My personal favorite (and also the most spendy – go figure!) is the Silver Gem Tetris Ring, with its 28 princess cut gems in a sterling silver band. Swanky! And it’s also unisex, so you and your geeky beloved can get a matched pair. These would make rad wedding bands for a gaming lovin’ couple, so says I. After all, Tetris is a pretty good metaphor for sexy times. Sometimes your “pieces” get into some awkward positions, but with a little rotation it can work out perfectly. Just remember to not get over-excited, or you’ll finish too fast. (Awwwww yeah.)

Now this is really my “type” of accessory. (Lawl!) The uber-stylish computer keyboard purse is covered in recycled keys, making it both eco-friendly and geektastic to boot. But is it functional? At 6×9 inches in size, it’s plenty roomy for all your essential bits and bobs – but sadly you won’t be able to type out emails or key in your favorite porn … ahem, your favorite social networking site. Hey, not all nerdy treasures need to be internet enabled. Just most of them, dammit!
