I weighed myself three times this morning and got different weights, depending on where in the room the scale was. #localGravity
When I die, I’d like to find out if I would’ve won anything had I checked out every ‘instant win’ sweepstakes I’d seen.
Just spoke with a pleasant fellow who works at Google & he pronounced beta to rhyme with meta! (re: tr.im/Fauo) Also: he’s Greek.
