WHY BUY PI?
There is nothing like this on Earth so you are invited to become part of it.
TELL ME MORE
Of course many will mouse the Pi like bursting bubble foam and discover your website.
It is of course reminiscent of the famous Million Dollar Homepage of 2004 where Entrepreneur Alex Tew of Wiltshire once sold pixels for $1.
But this one is different as it has the extraordinary media twist of memory.
HOW DO I DO PI?
I am one of those cerebral geeks you see on telly learning a phone book. A bit like Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 melodrama Rain Man.
I simply thinks in terms of mental pictures and lets the imagery represent what I wish to remember.
But I cannot teach this. I have tried. I have exclusively an extraordinary imagination that allows me to write and illustrate. And is realistic to appreciate that my autism and diagosis of Asperger's Syndrome is indeed a wonderful asset to my mind.
I just live in this bizarre little World full of pictures, words and invention.
DO YOU ACTUALLY OWN THESE PI?
Of course not. Sponsoring Pi numbers on 314tom.com is like buying an acre of land on the Moon or naming a Star System after your cat Fish Breath or Mistoffelees. What you do own is the new traffic to your site.
HOW LONG UNTIL LINK IS LIVE?
Same day as a general rule. Or as soon as I am near a computer and I am not distracted by my endless budget of time with art, learning, media and literature.
WHAT WEBSITES ARE BANNED?
It's a bit like the old days of prohibiting Lady Chatterley's Lover. However this modern site will not welcome inappropriate material or any toxic sideshow. No nasty websites please. Only a positive message as children will read and share this.
HOW LONG WILL THE SITE AND YOUR LINK BE LIVE?
For all time until doomsday. But at least five years as technology dries up and link rot may set in. We may all wonder what the internet and websites will look like in the future as this fantastic invention changes like the seasons.
WHY AM I LEARNING PI?
There are a million destitute unknown writers and artists working in the Rat Race or slogging their heart out in some dead-end job. And since I write and illustrate books with great depth of psychology and mind's eye, I thought why not break a memory record to float my boat. And even better monetize to cash in on my gift for numbers as I do not share the wealth of Elon Musk or writing celebrity of JK Rowling.
Of course no-one has ever done this before. It is a first. And yes there will be copycats. But one thing for certain is that they can never copy is my new record for learning Pi.
WHAT IS THE PI MEMORY RECORD?
Ten years ago a young man from India called Suresh Kumar Sharma recited Pi to 70,300 decimal places in 17hrs and 14mins.
My personal best in private is 30,000 and in front of a TV crew was 15,223 in 3hrs 40mins at the De Vere Hotel Blackpool on 8th March 1998 with ten professional invigilators.
But I don't want to watch paint dry and make numbers my whole life. I want to beat the European Record which is 24,063 by Jonas Von Essen from Sweden. Then the World Record which is a reality later.
Clearly my time is best spent writing and illustrating, as this is the true asset of my creativity. Numbers require a different perfection. And you don't need to be a Rocket Scientist at NASA to understand the pleasure of reading books that carry both message and matching poetic illustrations.
And completing the books then finding the success of a publisher requires time and money which doesn't grow on a tree or a normal career. Nothing is free in this world, and neither is my fire and ambition.
