Day 5: whoops

Well, I'm off to an absolutely rocking start of a year of blogging - namely, I missed yesterday because my laptop's hard drive bit the dust.

I have a full list of "intentions" scheduled to write about tomorrow (it's part of the Ten on Tuesday series), but I wanted to discuss one of them a bit more here. That would be my decision to move to the metric system. Right now I'm focusing on using Celsius in place of Fahrenheit. The conversion formula isn't tough; it's

C = 5(F-32)/9

but keeping it straight in my head has been amusing my friends and students no end.

BTW tomorrow is forecast to be -19C. Ouch!
