Music video for "Out of Quarters" by Metrication.
This was a project that had fallen to the wayside until an outtake from the video shoot that I titled "Real-Life Horror" went viral. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P6nZH5rBGY)
It always bothered me not to have finished it, and the viral outtake re-opened that wound. I went back to the project files and found that we had recorded the entire thing; it was just waiting to be stitched together. With fresh inspiration, after six years, I finished it.

ABSTRACT
In this talk I will explore the way that Australia upgraded to the metric system quickly, smoothly, and economically. I will describe which methods worked — while referring to the costs that Australians saved — and are still saving every day — through their successful metric transition. I will also comment on, the metrication programs of the UK and the USA.
Pat specialises in the modern metric system based on the International System of Units (SI), but he is mostly concerned with the processes that people use for themselves, their groups, their businesses, and their industries, and their nations as they go about the metrication process.

Making the switch to the Metric System has been talked about for decades in the US... but nothing's ever come of all that talk. Trace explains why it's so much better and why we should take the metric plunge.

It's the Science, Dummy: Why Americans Hate the Metric System
http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/blog/its-the-science-dummy-why-americans-hate-the-metric-system/
"We Americans are known for our strong sense of national pride toward our unreasonable stubbornness against adopting the metric system. We haven't always been so intractable toward what has become the international standard for measuring distance, mass, temperature and other things we need to describe to one another from time to time."
A Brief History of Measurement Systems
https://standards.nasa.gov/history_metric.pdf
"Weights and measures were among the earliest tools invented by man. Primitive societies needed rudimentary measures for many tasks: constructing dwellings of an appropriate size and shape, fashioning clothing and bartering food or raw materials."
The Metric System in the United States
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/usmetric.html
"Article I, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution gives Congress the power to "fix the standard of weights and measures" for the nation. The First Congress, meeting in 1789, took up the question of weights and measures, and had the metric system been available at that time it might have been adopted. What actually happened is that Thomas Jefferson, who was then serving as the first Secretary of State, submitted a report proposing a decimal-based system with a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar names for the units."
How the Metric System Works
http://science.howstuffworks.com/metric-system.htm
"Before there were global supply chains and trade agreements, convenience was the highest priority when it came to measurement. In most cases, people didn't have access to sophisticated measuring devices, so they relied on body parts, which were easy to carry around and offered somewhat consistent results."

Metrication
Metrication or metrification is conversion to the metric system of units of measurement. Worldwide, there has been a long process of independent conversions of countries from various local and traditional systems, beginning in France during the 1790s and spreading widely over the following two centuries, but the metric system has not been fully adopted in all countries and sectors.
Overview
In 2006, three countries did not mainly use the metric system: the United States, Burma, and Liberia. In the United Kingdom metric is the official system for most regulated trading by weight or measure purposes, but some imperial units remain the primary official unit of measurement. For example, miles, yards, and feet remain the official units for road signage—and use of imperial units is widespread. The Imperial pint (expressed in metric units) also remains a permitted unit for milk in returnable bottles and for draught beer and cider in British pubs. Imperial units are also legal for use alongside metric units on food packaging and price indications for goods sold loose, and may be used exclusively where a product is sold by description, rather than by weight/mass/volume. E.g. Television screen and clothing sizes tend to be denominated in inches only, but a piece of material priced per inch would be unlawful unless the metric price was also shown.

Metric system
The metric system is an internationally agreed decimal system of measurement. It was originally based on the mètre des Archives and the kilogramme des Archives introduced by the First French Republic in 1799, but over the years the definitions of the metre and the kilogram have been refined, and the metric system has been extended to incorporate many more units. Although a number of variants of the metric system emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the term is now often used as a synonym for "SI" or the "International System of Units"—the official system of measurement in almost every country in the world.
The metric system has been officially sanctioned for use in the United States since 1866, but the US remains the only industrialised country that has not adopted the metric system as its official system of measurement. Many sources also cite Liberia and Myanmar as the only other countries not to have done so. Although the United Kingdom uses the metric system for most official purposes, the use of the imperial system of measure, particularly among the public, is widespread and is permitted by the law.

It's the Science, Dummy: Why Americans Hate the Metric System
http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/blog/its-the-science-dummy-why-americans-hate-the-metric-system/
"We Americans are known for our strong sense of national pride toward our unreasonable stubbornness against adopting the metric system. We haven't always been so intractable toward what has become the international standard for measuring distance, mass, temperature and other things we need to describe to one another from time to time."
A Brief History of Measurement Systems
https://standards.nasa.gov/history_metric.pdf
"Weights and measures were among the earliest tools invented by man. Primitive societies needed rudimentary measures for many tasks: constructing dwellings of an appropriate size and shape, fashioning clothing and bartering food or raw materials."
The Metric System in the United States
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/usmetric.html
"Article I, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution gives Congress the power to "fix the standard of weights and measures" for the nation. The First Congress, meeting in 1789, took up the question of weights and measures, and had the metric system been available at that time it might have been adopted. What actually happened is that Thomas Jefferson, who was then serving as the first Secretary of State, submitted a report proposing a decimal-based system with a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar names for the units."
How the Metric System Works
http://science.howstuffworks.com/metric-system.htm
"Before there were global supply chains and trade agreements, convenience was the highest priority when it came to measurement. In most cases, people didn't have access to sophisticated measuring devices, so they relied on body parts, which were easy to carry around and offered somewhat consistent results."

Metrication Matters
Google Tech Talks August 6, 2007 ABSTRACT In this talk I will explore the way that Australia upgraded to the metric system quickly, smoothly, and economically. I will describe which methods worked — while referring to the costs that Australians saved — and are still saving every day — through their successful metric transition. I will also comment on, the metrication programs of the UK and the USA. Pat specialises in the modern metric system based on the International System of Units (SI), but he is mostly concerned with the processes that people use for themselves, their groups, their businesses, and their industries, and their nations as they go about the metrication process.

Metrication
Metrication or metrification is conversion to the metric system of units of measurement. Worldwide, there has been a long process of independent conversions of countries from various local and traditional systems, beginning in France during the 1790s and spreading widely over the following two centuries, but the metric system has not been fully adopted in all countries and sectors.

Metrication in the United States
Metrication is the process of introducing the International System of Units or SI, commonly known as the metric system, to replace the traditional or customary units of measurement of a country or region. Although all U.S. customary units have been redefined in terms of SI units, the United States does not commonly mandate the use of SI. This, according to the CIA Factbook, makes the US one of only three countries (the other two being Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Liberia) that have not adopted the metric system as their official system of weights and measures. However, recent evidence from visitors and trading partners indicates that there is widespread use of the metric system in both Liberia and Myanmar, and in October 2013, a Myanmar government minister announced that his country was pr...

Three Beautiful Quicksorts
Google Tech Talks August 9, 2007 ABSTRACT This talk describes three of the most beautiful pieces of code that I have ever written: three different implementations of Hoare's classic Quicksort algorithm. The first implementation is a bare-bones function in about a dozen lines of C. The second implementation starts by instrumenting the first program to measure its run time; a dozen systematic code transformations proceed to make it more and more powerful yet more and more simple, until it finally disappears in a puff of mathematical smoke. It therefore becomes the most beautiful program I never wrote. The third program is an industrial-strength C library Qsort function that I built with Doug McIlroy. A theme running through all three implementations is the power of elegance and simpli...

ABSTRACT
This talk describes three of the most beautiful pieces of code that I have ever written: three different implementations of Hoare's classic Quicksort algorithm. The first implementation is a bare-bones function in about a dozen lines of C. The second implementation starts by instrumenting the first program to measure its run time; a dozen systematic code transformations proceed to make it more and more powerful yet more and more simple, until it finally disappears in a puff of mathematical smoke. It therefore becomes the most beautiful program I never wrote. The third program is an industrial-strength C library Qsort function that I built with Doug McIlroy. A theme running through all three implementations is the power of elegance and simplicity. (This talk expands my Chapter 3 in Beautiful Code, edited by Oram and Wilson and published by O'Reilly in July, 2007.)

My Direction, Manges
My Direction
Perfection is my direction, even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction, I just know that life's not so bad
Picture this everyday kids that just can't find a way
Stuck in disarray can't find hope for better days
It's the degeneration of childhood frustration
In the last 30 years teenage suicide has increased 300% in North America
It is the second major cause of death in Canada
Perfection is my direction, even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction, I just know that life's not so bad
When will all my problems disappear, am I just going crazy from the fear
Oh my, oh my I'm going far past the brink
This pressure's like a weight, and I still can't think straight
Perfection is my direction, even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction, I just know that life's not so bad
I've met my destinations, so what's left to complain about
With all these aggravations, building till the seams fall out
I'm running my mouth dry, with every time I lie
Don't tell me without a doubt this dumbfound luck has all run out
Don't tell me without a doubt this dumbfound luck has all run out
Perfection is my direction, even if that's all I had
