Did luckily capture the very fleeting moment we were on “exactly” π million subscribers. And look at the time. Swear I didn’t notice this until afterwards. Total fluke.

I only met the legendary John Conway one time, but he generously spoke on all sorts of topics. His honest and revealing thoughts on life -and death - seem all the more poignant today. He leaves an incredible legacy to mathematics.
