A newspaper article which I wrote for the World Math Year. (in Danish). At some points, pi has become p, but it is not hard to see where.
I have been interviewed to the internetmagazine Forum For Gender and Culture. The interview is in Danish and can be found here.
Here is another interview - this one is in Berlingske Tidende, and it is also in Danish.

Buy a Klein Bottle here. They even have a Klein bottle hat and Klein bottle beer mugs and they mail them to Europe too.
Hilbert Problems A list and an explanation of the 23 problems posed by David Hilbert at the International Congress of Mathematicians 1900
A Canadian magazine on mathematics. Written for highschool students. It is called Pi in the sky
For some really interesting and well written articles about mathematics written by Keith Devlin check Devlins Angle. The newest columns are here.
Harvey Mudd College has a list of Fun Facts about
mathematics. Some of them are more fun than others, but see for yourself.
The American Mathematical Societies have a Mathematical Awareness Month.
Pi. A movie which is a bit to advanced for my taste (not on the math part, but as a movie...). It did, however, get very nice reviews and won a price at the Sundance festival. So if your taste in movies is not as primitive as mine, maybe you will love it...
The Geometry Junkyard. This page has links to lots of interesting pages on geometry.
Algebraic Topology Discussion List
