Wiki
I have been making Wikipedia my bitch, lately, which is slang that means I have been taking advantage of it a whole lot.
A lot of times I will watch television and sit at the computer, and if the television says something interesting, then I will find out more with Wikipedia.
A lot of times, I will find things on Wikipedia that cause me to look at other things on Wikipedia, which cause me to look at even other things on Wikipedia. This means I am learning and "surfing" simultaneouslatthesametimely.
Here is a list of things that I have looked up on Wikipedia in the last few weeks: (It is not a complete list) ::
- Milleniums, or millenia, for short, from the 10th BC to the "11th and beyond".
