	Comments on Tom 7 Radar: Pi day... awesome!
		Back in 1999, when I was an undergraduate, my math friend Dan Bruner and I decided that an appropriate Pi Day celebration would be to write as many digits of pi as we could on the sidewalk for everyone to see.
		When CMU moved its spring break to overlap Pi Day in 2004, and with most of my undergraduate friends graduated and most of my graduate friends working on their theses, I thought that would be the end of our chalking exploits.
		I am impressed, honored, and absolutely ready to have pi day chalking be an autonomous CMU tradition.
