Title: I'm in a T-Shirt Contest!
Post by: Jigsaw Forte on February 27, 2010, 02:22:46 PM
You can go vote here! (http://short.to/191cx)

More details here (including a picture of my entry so you know which one to look for)! (http://www.lastres0rt.com/2010/02/vote-for-irradiated-pi-in-the-georgia-tech-pi-mile-shirt-contest/)

My old college is holding a t-shirt contest for the annual Pi Mile run, and I'm keen on my art being seen all around campus! (First prize being a Flip Video Camera doesn't hurt either!)

You can vote once per day, per IP address.

This is my entry, btw:

Vote plz?  :)

Yeowch... you've got 12 votes (I'm guessing it was 11.) and the top has 40...

I wish you luck, man.

I gave you my vote. You have a very clever, awesome-looking shirt design. :) Good luck in the contest!

Voted.

Win or loose, your design has one thing going for it; it looks really good. Which is more then I'll say for the rest of 'em.

I'm competing against other GaTech Alums / students, mostly.

I'm hoping if I can at least get myself into the top five (where you see previews after voting) it'll get other people voting to bandwagon along too.

In the meantime, I've got two weeks to get to the top...

Good News: "Irradiated Pi" has moved up to the top six, which means we now get to see it included among the image previews in the after-voting results. In theory, this should increase votes from random bystanders.

Bad News:
It is by no means securely in the top six, so votes are still needed to keep it there.

Ugly News: ... I'm still several hundred votes behind the leader no matter how you slice it. Worse, they're gaining votes at a similar rate to what I'm running as well... which says that I'll need to find a way to increase the number of votes each day somehow in order to catch up and overtake them.

I'm not sure what to try next, but something tells me I'll need to come up with something...

/me feeds in three votes for today.

... I'll put in another three when I get home, but that'll require some poking about to achieve. Not so sure I'll do that regularly... we'll see. I might be able to do another 7 without too much faffing about, which would rock.

Did it again as well, and I'll spread the word to friends. :)

You should design more shirts.

Voted.

Although I would like to know how you can run pi miles. How do you know when you've finished?
Title: Re: I'm in a T-Shirt Contest!
Post by: Drayco84 on March 03, 2010, 02:43:00 PM
Simple, run 3.2 miles (Or even 3.15.) and you're done, regardless of whatever the bajillion digits after the .14 is.

EDIT: Oh, it's just what they call the trail.

3.14159265358191 and then I get lost.

Of course, by the time you reach that level of accuracy, you're talking fractions of millimeters...

Moot point; the farther you get, the harder it is to continue. No one's ever actually reached the end.

Still voting.

Well, I just got you ten votes. I'll be repeating that every day, hopefully... Not enough to seriously make you move up, but hey...

Maybe if you put it in your sig?

Voted again. I notice you're in fifth place now.

I can't believe "Mapped" is first place. So boring.

Still voting.
