I have been going to this site Instructables.com for a little over a year now. On it you will find step-by-step instructions and videos for building, fixing, wiring, soldering, modding, and fine tuning just about anything imaginable. Want to build a robot that makes you coffee in the morning, go there and figure it out. And just recently stumbled upon WonderHowTo.com which is pretty close to the same thing but whereas Instructables is more about things you can make, wonder how to has instructional videos on absolutely ANYTHING! Of course I knew what it would lead to. The most popular instructional videos are all about sex. (But my favorite in that regard being the one about telling a hooker from a cop) But what i’ve been nutting on lately are the videos of how to swindle people. Not that I would mind you, but its good to know in case i’m ever a fugitive or destitute. It seems that most of the Con videos come from a british tv show (which means a shittier, watered down and overly funded version will be on American TV within a year). Ah, truly we have reached the information age.

Sometimes I just want to learn everything that will fit into my brain. Unfortunately I have had to displace a good deal of peoples names. So if you run into me on the street, don’t be offended if I forget your name again, Mom.
