Regular readers may have noticed that I make a lot of links to a site called Wikipedia. For those that aren't familiar with it, it's a beautiful thing.

It's an encyclopedia that's constantly being written by the people who use it. It's a gigantic, decentralized, distributed, collaborative experiment in writing a reference work. It's way cool, and it's way free, although a voluntary contribution of, like, $5 wouldn't break you, would it?

God bless the internet!
