Here are the first 400 digits read by Wil Wheaton in the book Hoeland, by Cory Doctorow. http://boingboing.net/2014/03/28/in-which-i-made-wil-wheaton-re.html
Pi is a mathematically beautiful and mysterious concept, but this spirograph does not show it. If you plotted the first 1000 digits of my cat's weight, I'm sure you'd get virtually the same pattern.
This is awesome, nice find!
