Take Away (or, Delicious Linjustice)

Every sensate biped with half a working nerve cell in its skull can scold a careless, way-lamer-than-he-thinks-he-is writer for ESPN.com. My concerns today have little to do with Linsanity and the number it’s doing on (L)institutionalized bigotry in America.

All Matter/No Matter

A particular piece of trivia floated my way this morning and sent me off on a little thought experiment. It doesn’t mean anything, but I guess that’s kind of the point. Anyway, we begin with the original piece of trivia: If you compare an Amazon Kindle’s mass from the point of purchase to when it’s been filled to its 2GB capacity, the difference is 1.0e-18 grams.
