There is a write up on wiki about Larry Shaw, the creator of Pi Day. I think if you do a search of Pi Day you can find it. There is a long explanation of today and the next Pi Day.

My brother is a former teacher and writes math textbooks for a living. His first child is due today. How cool would that be?

Or as we say in the South, “Pi are not square, Pi are round, cornbread are square.” ;o)

Why should the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter be an irrational number? It’s certainly not an irrational concept.

Why should the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter be an irrational number? It’s certainly not an irrational concept. It's even worse than irrational; it's transcendental.
BTW, here's an entertaining book: A History of Π.
