Junk the Metric System

Metric is an antiquated system with non-decimal conversion factors that are hard to remember and awkward to use. The intent here is to develop a postmetric or supermetric system where the main physical constants (G, c, h-bar, e, k, Avogadro number, etc.) are powers of a ten instead of the usual metric mess. Contribute your ideas on the design and launch of such a system.
