OK, pi will never really die. It's too ingrained in society. But, as a practicing engineer, pi never really felt quite right. It was annoying, but I didn't know how to explain it well other than "we work with radius, not diameter". Then last night I found the Tau Manifesto, which articulated the issue quite nicely.
Don't worry folks. There's always room for pi! And who couldn't like Tau Day? I mean, that's 2 pi! June 28 at 3:19. Dig in.
