Introduction

"Ignorance is bliss." What a fallacy. We all love knowing things. Random facts, like how to put together a computer, or how Pop-Tarts are made, are something that many of us take pride in. And who knows more random, useless facts than your average nerd?

Friday Night Links: Episode 1

While I work on getting my next post in order, I'm going to establish a tradition. Every Friday, I'll post a link to a website that I enjoy. Hopefully it'll open you up to places you've never been, be they forum sites, games, webapps, or webcomics.

As for this week, check out the Khan Academy. It is an entirely free site from which you can learn just about anything. Sign up for an account, watch some videos, and do some exercises. It's a great way to stretch your brain after a long day of staring at a computer screen, or being talked to by a 40 year old who doesn't really care if you pass or fail. The guys here want you to pass, and they give you all the tools necessary.

The site is funded by private donations, and they have received donations from companies like Google and Microsoft. So if you have some extra cash, it would burst my heart with joy if you tossed some their way. I'm greatly looking forward to the series they're going to do on programming. :)
