Hello friend!
I hope you are staying healthy in these uncertain times. I know it's rough out there (I was supposed to be in Spain this week speaking at T3chFest and we're doing a lot of social distancing at home in Seattle). I hope this can be a little bit of fun in your inbox!

Something that interested me this week
Though there was a lot of self-quarantining this week, there was one fun thing to look forward to: Pi Day! For those who don’t know, Pi Day is March 14th (3/14 -> 3.14) and I love celebrating the day!
My husband and I made a pizza (because if you have a pizza with radius “z” and thickness “a”, its volume is pizz*a). Plus, I https://codepen.io/cassidoo/full/wvamVzm">made a CodePen for it!

Joke
Humans can catch diseases from monkeys and bats, but why not anteaters?
Because they are filled with anty bodies.
