It still surprises me how many people don’t know about Wikipedia. Whether it be research for your math/english/history paper, or looking up some obscure Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book/Anime/Manga term, they have it all.
In case you didn’t know, the wiki in Wikipedia is a term referring to a website where any random visitor can edit almost any page. Surprisingly, peer pressure and the dedication of other users keep trouble to a minimum. Since wikis keep a history of changes, and damage is easy to undo. Wikipedia’s stated policies concerning referencing sources and the peer review do the rest. I know this may sound unreliable, but don’t dismiss it before you try it.

I suppose the title should really read “Best Viewed with a Standards Compliant Browser” but too many people don’t know how broken IE really is. Anyway, as you may or may not have noticed, this site doesn’t look very good on at least some Internet Explorer setups. I didn’t know about it myself since I use Linux exclusively. (well, and some OpenBSD)

I have run across this several times, people try to remake an old Nintendo game and what does Nintendo threaten to do? Sue! And I’m not talking about ones that people can still buy. I’m talking ones that a remake wouldn’t affect sales of because any re-releases would be on Gameboy and people would still buy them so they could play on the bus/in the car/at school/on a plane/etc.
Here’s an example.
This really sickens me and I’d stop buying from them if it weren’t for the fact that I only play older Nintendo games anyway. (Can’t stop what you aren’t doing, or if you can, you’re probably eligible for a nobel prize in something like demonstrative philosophy.)

Have you ever heard of Google Bombing? Neither had I. (Well, it sounded familiar) It turns out that Google Bombing means to legitimately exploit the fact that google treats links to pages as popularity votes for those pages. So, I’ve added a google bombs section to the bottom of the menu.
Also, I finally found some good blogs written by/about women (you’d be surprised how much harder it is) so I’ve added them to my “good blogs” links section. Don’t believe me, start at this article and then browse from there.
This is a preview of
New batch of links, some Google Bombing, feminism, and Walmart
