Avacyn Restored Bugs Me

This is not to cry that Magic is dead, or that Wizards has ruined the game, or any other such nonsense. I loved Innistrad's flavor AVR hit a lot of those notes perfectly. Soulbond and the "lone monster" mechanics mirror nicely. "Miracle", while awkward, creatres some fun gameplay moments which, when it comes down to it, is why we play the game.

I've played some AVR limited and toyed with the cards in other formats. Here are my concerns:

A Metric for Success

One of my greatest regrets is that I still think in feet, cups, and Fahrenheit. Yes, I am a huge nerd.

Even after realizing how awesome metric is I still maintained that it wasn't worthwhile to switch. It didn't seem to matter what units people learned All the science that matters is done in metric anyways. I swore to raise my children to think in metric just because it's so logical but there seemed no reason to inconvenience the rest of America.

I recently had a change of heart. The metric system is not only logical, it is conducive to the development of scientific thought.
