A PI Magazine by Any Other Name

I found a fabulously clever Twitter account today - PI Magazine. I guess it just reminded me that we all cannot own specific phrases and brands when they are generic or when specific words or abbreviations like P.I. can be attributed to other uses.

This Tweeter(?) uses PI in the context of "π, the mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter."

Nice!

Here are a few of my favorite 3.14 related tweets:

"The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi."

"If you want this twitter account, you'll have to apologize first, then write a $3.14M check with "Newby" in the subject line. You know my number."

and of course...

"Need to find followers who share a love for "geometric investigations.""

Hahahahaha.

Here is another great use of the term from Private Investigator Magazine:

PI Magazine has a Real Competitor (Finally) and it's FREE!

I've written about Pursuit Magazine before but I just saw the new website layout and I was floored by the beautiful layout and all of the information available. Visiting PI Magazine online is a bit like attending the circus or Las Vegas- cluttered and the inability to focus on anything because of the blinking banners and the overload of advertising. I can focus on the content at Pursuit Magazine and enjoy the experience when I have some downtime to really learn something.

Who gives away that much free information anyway? Is Scott crazy?

I love the videos section- there is some seriously EXCELLENT material there. The Sitemap is an excellent resource and I have set up an RSS feed through the subscribe function so that I am notified every time a new post is made.

My understanding is that they are still going to send out the electronic copy of the actual Magazine every other month too, which is awesome.

Great work. I hope you all will visit them and tell them what a great job they are doing.

Pursuit Magazine for Private Investigators has Posted the September Edition

The September issue of Pursuit Magazine, a private investigator magazine has been posted to their website and it is an important issue for sure.

The National Council of Investigation & Security Services had its annual Hit the Hill campaign in Washington DC, in an effort to meet as many legislators as possible and discuss with them the several bills making the rounds on Capitol Hill that may affect us all as private investigators and our access to sensitive information.

This is extremely important stuff and PM covered both the good and the bad as members who were in DC see it.

We all need to get involved or we are going to lose vital pieces of information that allow many of us to do our jobs and serve the greater good.

Take a look at Pursuit Magazine- it's free and considerably better in my opinion than PI Magazine. http://www.pursuitmag.com
