[UA] pi

[stuartanderson at uswest.net]

    I just previewed the film Pi to figure out what math I
could suck out of it and teach my older boys prior to
letting them watch it if they get most of their homework in.
I don't think my younger boys would dig the whole "drill in
the head" thing. Anyhoo--it knocked me out. Great movie. I
ignored it when it was originally released. My bad. One of
the cleanest, most succinct presentations I've ever seen of
the ideas in the Illuminati books or _Foucault's Pendulum_
or similar books. Blew me away.
    Has anyone developed a magick based on math? Calcumancy
or something? I think I could do a nice one, but I am, as
I've posted previously, "redefining 'sloth' for a generation
of slackers." I don't know if I want to compromise my
commitment to inactivity at this time.
