    This past Pi day, I came across this video by Vi Hart. Intrigued, I started watching her other videos and reading her blog. I was struck by her statement:

    Any gathering of passionate people is fun, really no matter what they’re doing.

    So, be passionate about what you're doing, have fun with it, and your audience will too.

    I probably shouldn't tell you about Vi Hart's math doodles, then.

    Last week, NPR had a shout out to this essay (which I had read before) and also to a blogger named Vi Hart. Check out her YouTube videos and blog at vihart.com, especially the math class doodles. She talks very fast, cracks a lot of puns, and ridicules the established educational methods as she draws doodles that relate to math concepts. Explore your numeracy visually.

    Here is an example of what happens when you have an idea stuck in your head, and you have pencil and paper at hand: YouTube - Doodling in Math Class: Infinity Elephants

    And here's what happens when you have the same idea and a 3D printer on hand: Vi Hart: Blog: Entry

    Just drawing stuff and 3D printing stuff because it's nifty. This is one of the places where awesome things come from.
