Track and Field Units of Measure
I was watching Track and Field last night when a seemingly obvious question came to mind. I say “seemingly” because it has never crossed my mind before.

Busy Weekend
This is more of a livejournal posting, but as I only use livejournal to keep up with what my friends are doing, voila!
