About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    This is not the measurement scale you're looking for.

    Certainly explains the seemingly arbitrary geometry of star destroyers. "God damn it, Jeff, it was supposed to be a cube; let me look over those unit conversions."

    I've always been a harsh defender of the metric system….I must say, now I regret it !!!

    On the other hand, there's some pretty serious technology in the Star Wars Universe. What I take away from this image is that if you want to keep technological progress to a minimum, stick with metric.
