Spherical Pie For Pi Day

Spherical pie for Pi Day.

It’s that time of year again: 3/14. Or, as some might say 3.14. Whatever Pi Day means to you, what better way to celebrate than with a spherical pie? Instructables user starshipminivan has it all mapped out for you:

This pie is the ultimate ode to Pi. A full sphere of crust filled with pudding gives you the perfect pi-inspired pie eating experience. The ratio of volume to surface area of a sphere is the highest possible for a closed shape. So a spherical pie creates the largest possible filling content relative to crust. It is the ultimate dessert experience for pi and pie lovers alike.

Or, get a hint directly from her blog, She Creates Stuff, and make you own. Here’s a calculator to jolt back that long-forgotten formula for the volume of a sphere.

Herbs On The Wall With Wooly Pocket

Wally from Wooly Pocket is a modular planter system.

Any cook who has ever picked up a fry pan has thought about starting an herb garden. Unfortunately, that dream doesn’t always grow into a reality. The most common of excuses also happens to be the most difficult to overcome: lack of space. If you’re climbing the walls over the high cost of herbs at the store, there happens to be something useful to do about it while you are up there.

Wally from Wooly Pockets is a modular growing system that hangs from the wall. Featuring environmentally responsible construction, the planters are soft-sided and breathable, allowing herbs the opportunity to thrive anywhere. (For those that do have the space, see Wooly Pockets other products, Meadow and Islands.)
