Welcome on board Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Palumbo Sent: 29 May 2007 14:39 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:38772] New member, wanted to introduce myself.
Hello everyone, My name is Mike Palumbo, and I just joined the USMA listserv, at Brian White's suggestion. I'm a huge proponent of metrication in the US, and if any of you read Slashdot, I'm the one responsible for this nearly out of control thread: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/12/2338259 Kind of shows you what we're up against, I suppose. Let's see, just some brief information about me. I'm a software engineer, and I do most of my work with 2 companies, one located in Europe and one in Canada. All work is on a metric standard, so I find the constant translation for my upper management to be excruciating. My clocks are all 24 hours, my cars clusters have been replaced so that they are only in kilometres, my thermostats are all in Celsius...I think you get the idea. :) I'm looking forward to some excellent discussions, thanks for having me here! -Mike
