Something that interested me this week

Let's be real, the thing that interested me the most this week was an AMAZING slice of key lime pie that I got at the grocery store. It's probably the best key lime pie I've ever had. It's from a really small company called Cyrus O'Leary's Pies (their website uses both Flash and MapQuest... maybe I can offer to fix their website in exchange for pies). I love pie. I love that Pi day is a day where you can eat pie AND celebrate math. I'm thinking that I'll probably have just a bunch of pies at my wedding instead of a wedding cake.

Anyway. That's what interested be this week. Only hard-hitting content here, people!
 

Interview question of the week

Write a function that will take in a number from the Fibonacci sequence, and prints a golden spiral based on that number.

For example:
> spiral(5)
 |¯¯¯¯¯
 | ¯|
 |__|

> spiral(2) // 2 is weird because it appears twice in the sequence. Handle this however you want. ¯| __|​
