Brought to you by the letter Pi

July 27, 2008 · Comments Off

For a while, I wanted to sponsor something in SL, and a few weeks ago I finally got the chance. Vel was telling me about the upcoming Shelter Road Rally. A couple of sponsors had already signed on, and Vel was glad to have me on board. The next question was how it should be listed.

My first sponsorship idea was just to list my name; however, that seemed rather dull. In addition, I couldn’t think of any adjectives to make my name sound snazzy without being pretentious. Finally, I went with a trusted stand-by. “The foundation for PI” would be the sponsor

So there you have it. The Shelter Road Rally, brought to you by the letter “PI”. Be sure to check out the unofficial website of the Foundation for PI, http://pi.appspot.com, where you can see PI calculated to 2000 digits.

Chatty tagged me with this meme, so here I go:

…you have tried to right click on a person to get their profile

…you have told someone “afk” or “brb”

…you have bought rl clothes based on your sl clothes

…you look around for the lucky chair at the store

…you look for dance balls on the dance floor

…you hear the clackety-clack of a keyboard while talking to someone

…you have had a dream that takes place in sl

…you take a rl photo and expect it to immediately be on your hard drive or displayed on your screen

Feel free to tag yourself. You all know who you are.
