My love of Wikipedia
Ah, Wikipedia. Source of so much information. I've wasted countless hours looking up completely random things, so I've decided to keep record of what I look up and why on a semi-daily basis.
The MLB Civil Rights Game, which took me to Cleveland Indians mascot Chief Wahoo. I then learned more about Chief Illiniwek and Chief Bender. Learning about Chief Wahoo made me curious about other Major League Baseball mascots.
Our recent relocation to 26th & Blaisdell in Minneapolis puts us near Eat Street and the landmark restaurant Black Forest Inn. Ryan and I have discussed eating there, and as I like to be informed about my food I searched for German cuisine, and learned about bratwurst, Leipziger Allerlei, Hasenpfeffer, sauerbraten, spätzle and the döner kebab, which reminded me of the Donair, a Halifax treat.
Of course, I had to read the entry on German beer, and the discussion of beer gardens makes me long for hot summer nights with friends and pitchers of beer.
A dicussion with a coworker about the forbidden deliciousness that is the Rice Krispie treat led me to read to her its history.

A return to blogging
After running a mildly successful Twins blog for a few months, I've decided to return to personal blogging as well. I must still have things to say.
I spend my days thinking about voice and data network architecture, baseball, knitting, politics and relentlessly pursuing esoteric knowledge about anything and everything. So I imagine those are the things that I will write about.
