Pi explained... by Hard 'n Phirm
Sorry.... there are no awesome cuts to mirror-angle, photo-negative shots. or circa-1992 sub-rave techno music (though the two "Wizards" sound like
Peter Schilling to me).

As I'm never sure if you're chock-full of sarcasm, I'll have to consult my "Miftah Sincerity Meter®"

I'd have to say that it is possible that Nathaniel Hornblower had something to do with that video.
At least, in spirit.
The video politely tickles several bits of my Publicly Broadcast Childhood.

It confused me at first, because the opening logo reminded me of WGBH (a public television station in Boston which creates such shows as Nova).
It wasn't until the middle of the damn thing that I figured out exactly what was going on
As for what WHNP stand for... well, google gives a few possible answers:
- Womens Health Nurse Practicioner
- A talk radio station in East Longmeadow, MA (1600 AM).
- "White House Nonsensical President"
Ok... I just made that last one up.

I'm still not sure what the hell that was all about. Guess I'm missing something.

Quicktime 7 would be my guess (it does funky things with 6.5).

I got the Zoom! reference. The WHNP gig makes sense now.
Thanks

LOL. Good times. I wish I had known when we were up there. The girl is a huge SnO fan, and she would have been impressed.
