The Charms of Wikipedia and the ever enlightening Creative Common videos (Yay!)

I enjoyed the reading on the charms of wikipedia. That is all. Lol. I’m a Wikipedia fan, i often search it for the most mundane and not so mundane of things. It gave me a glimpse into why people aren’t aware of my (super awesome) show, Newsradio. Did i mention it is pretty awesome? I also found out about the history of Toyota due to Wikipedia. This article, has been a real eye-opener for me in that it has shown me that Wikipedia isn’t always the final answer. Meaning it may not be as credible as i had given it credit for. The article goes into detail showing how Wikipedia isn’t quite idiot-proof. However, that “idiots” have actually helped shape Wikipedia into what it is today. By providing more guidelines and auto-correct bots (paraphrasing) for articles posted. If only we can get some auto-correct bots for Congress.

I enjoyed the videos as well. Nothing mind blowing really. i’m still impressed by the simple approach they employ in explaining things. Kudos guys.
