Swamped

Out of the vacation frying pan and into the work fire. I'm swamped at the office and have no time for blogging. A few quick things: For those who missed it, Amy Welborn closed Open Book [http://amywelborn.typepad.com/openbook/]. Quite shocking. She brought in nearly 4,

Hate Metric? Hate Bonds?

Over at Chesterton and Friends [http://chestertonandfriends.blogspot.com/2007/08/summer-slow-down.html], the editor of Gilbert Magazine, Sean Dailey, made the following observation about the metric system: > The metric system was developed by French Enlightenment dullards and is tailor-made for athiests: none of the measurements
