Alternative title: Short Term Attention Spam, or s.t.a.s.(is)

Already we seem to have reached that temporary lull that always happens when you start a blog, then 3-5 days later run out of things to say or just get bored ... so, in the meantime here's some links of things that have interested me lately (and of course, Wikipedia is always the finest source for information). Perhaps we can make this a regular thing?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grip_tape

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabi%E2%80%93Yau_manifold
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Note

  2. i wouldn't have a degree without my dear wikipedia! why limit yourself to one person's incorrect view of the world when you can have dozen's of people's incorrect view of the world? at least then you're more likely to get it right... a bit like this blog
