Kristell's Commonplace

Blog

I don't tag my posts

So I’ve been moving the blog, and as I’ve been doing it I think I’ve found one rule that will help me stick to the new format, and by extension how I organize my life:

There’s a lot of anti-aging stuff around the internet, from people saying to put on lotion, to people who are showing you how to redirect your own expressions of basic emotions so you don’t smile.

The History of Imperial Units of Measurements

Introduction

Look. Am I horrendously attached to imperial units? No, not really. I like them, I grew up with them, but fundamentally I don’t think I’d pine for inches over centimeters, valuing the simplicity of the foot over the fact that 1/3 of a meter is 333.3333333333… oh you get the point, centimeters.
