			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently working on a site with some big fonts. Im talking 5 or 6 em (100px). But on an iphone4 they looked tiny.</p>
<p>Like so</p>
<a href="http://mattadams.co/assets/photo-1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-328" title="photo 1" src="http://mattadams.co/assets/photo-1-200x300.png" alt="" /></a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thats not cool.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Enter the text-size solition.</strong><br />
-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So in my CSSat the very bottom:</p>
<pre>@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio : 2) {
/* Styles */
body {-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%}

}/*end iphone4 and ipad3 */</pre>
<a href="http://mattadams.co/assets/photo-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-329" title="photo 2" src="http://mattadams.co/assets/photo-2-200x300.png" alt="" /></a>
<p>Bam, all fixed!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now the only real issue i am left with, is that this only fixes iphones and &#8216;the new&#8217; ipads. I hear there are some android tablets with retina like displays, but dont run webkit. I know thats 0.05% of people, but still wonder how to fix those. Anyone?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The state of over the air radio has to be dying. I personally hate listening to the radio.</p>
<p>I share office space with an insurance agent and their staff. They have a little radio in the corner set to a popular valley station. I swear it only plays commercials.</p>
<p>So informal study time. I noted on my whiteboard every time i walked by and it was actually playing a song. 5 days, and I walk through to the bathroom or lunch room 4 &#8211; 7 times per day. After 1 week, I have heard it playing music 5, yes 5 whole times.</p>
<p>I know thats a pretty random and not very scientific study, but it solidified my feelings that the radio is dead, and internet radio is king. I will gladly pay $36 a year for pandora and never hear an ad. Considering i listen to 30+ hours of music per week, thats a bargin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love my apple products, and i indeed think their computers and operating systems are far better than the competition. I will say that the new <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/">mountain lion preview</a> has me worried. </p>
<p>I dont want all that crap. I dont want to tweet from every app, i for sure dont want notifications like my phone has, and it looks like more and more fluff added to a great system. I hope they let me shut 95% of that consumer garbage off, i have work to do. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IT MAKES SENSE</p>
<p>1 Kilometer = 1000 Meters<br />
1/2 a Kilometer = 500 Meters<br />
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters<br />
1 Centimeter = 10 Millimeters</p>
<p>Water boils at 100 degrees celsius<br />
and freezes at 0 degrees celsius.</p>
<p>1 Ton = 1000 Kilograms<br />
1 Kilogram = 1000 Grams<br />
1/2 a Kilogram = 500 Grams</p>
<p>You get the point. Now, let’s check this:</p>
<p>1 Mile = 5280 Feet = 1760 Yards<br />
1/2 a Mile = 2640 Feet = 880 Yards<br />
1 Feet = 12 Inches<br />
1 Inch = Sorry you can go there…</p>
<p>Water boils at 212 degreed fahrenheit<br />
and freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit. Huh?</p>
<p>1 Ton = 2000.034 Pounds<br />
1 Pound = 16 Ounces<br />
1/2 a Pound = 8 Ounces<br />
1 Ounce = You can’t do this…</p>
<p>It looks like someone just threw random numbers and names and put together the imperial system. Why would anyone be comfortable using this. Why do I need to measure things like: turn in 1 and 1/6 of a mile. How far is that? How about: turn in 1.2 kilometers. I know exactly how much is that. Or, that wall is 5 and 3/4 &#8211; give me a freaking calculator so I can know exactly how long it is. Now consider that the wall is 2.3 meters. I know what the .3 means, it makes sense.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think it’s time we abolish the imperial system and go metric. Make our lives less complicated.</p>
