We have fruit on the tables (mandarins, apples, sometimes bananas) and beer in the fridge. Someone will bring in something like chips or cookies and leave it on top of the microwave and announce it on our Yammer network. And sometimes we bring things in to keep it going (there are bagels there now and last week was cinnamon buns and chocolate covered espresso beans), but tomorrow we're specifically bringing in pie for Pi Day. We have a thing for pie here and use it to celebrate many things, but it is also the ultimate geek holiday after all. r.
