Happy birthday Google Code. In March 2005, when only 8 API connections were first publicly displayed on Google Code. Now five years later, the figure has exceeded 60. In addition, there are still more than 240,000 open source projects in Google Code to take root, more than 17,000 posted every day, equivalent to one code in every 5 seconds.

Google itself has more than 800 projects listed in it, including Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, and GWT four over more than 1 million lines of codes.

Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant ? (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of ?. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.

Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, because of Archimedes’ popular approximation of ? being 22/7. However, this may be considered misleading, as all cited dates are “approximation days” (as ? is an irrational number) and 22/7 is actually a closer approximation of ? than 3.14. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format (22/7 being an impossible date in this format), and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format (since 3/14 and 31/4 are impossible dates in this format).
