An amusing, if utterly wrong article. What I found funniest was how he constructs geometry out of points with a finite size, so that each circle's Pi can be directly measured as the ratio of the number of points on the circumference vs the number of points on the line from the center to the circumference. Sure that gives you a rational 'Pi', but, whatever value will this rational 'Pi' approach, as you increase the circle size vs point size ratio?
That the answer is simply the true Pi does not seem to bother him, or he hasn't considered it.
