In honor of Pi Day, and because I’m sure you would rather not search around the interwebs, I’ve created a post specifically to update you on the current status of the apple Pi pie in the Instructables 2012 Pi Day Pie Competition. After all, with all the lovely feedback you’ve given me, it’s more like our pi pie and not just mine. So: if you are interested and want to know how the pi pie is faring, check back here. i’ll be watching its status and updating this post as we go along through the competition.
Current Status: Pi Pie, Winner of an iPad 2 and A Bunch of Other Things!

Breaking News: The Pi Pie has made it to MSNBC’s Bites blog. Beyond honored. So far past honored, I can’t even discuss it.
The apple Pi pie has taken over the internet. so far today, it’s gotten little writeups at twenty-two words, laughing squid, neatorama, geekologie, and foodiggity. And it’s burning up twitter and facebook, as well. Nerds: i’d say “unite!” but it seems as though you already have.
- Currently, the Pi pie is 1st in “most viewed,” which doesn’t mean anything but it really is getting lots of people looking at it. YES!
- The competition closes on March 19th in terms of entries. Judges from both Instructables and Serious Eats will choose finalists.
- Three days will be allowed for members of Instructables to vote. This is only for fun: voting has no bearing on the actual winners. Which is good because I believe in quality, not quantity, of friends. That’s why I love you, people; you’re quality.
- Winners will be picked. Those winners (and the aforementioned finalists) will be based on originality, usefulness, simplicity, and clarity of instructions, each will be given equal weight. So let’s all hope they find a pie filled with apple numbers “useful.”
- Winners will be announced on or around March 28, 2012.
And that, my friends, is that.
