Wiki adventures

For some reason, some acoustic songs just sound better than the "original" versions. By the way, totally diggin' the new Maroon 5 album.



Probably my favorite album right now.  Such a classic rock sound.  Too bad no one knows about these guys.  And probably never will.  If you like it here are my other favorites from their album:  Take me for a ride Showdown in central park  Wildlife (actual video) Who said rock and roll is dead? 

Every time I look up information about Bruce Lee, I get sucked into his life.  He is one of the most amazing people I've ever read about (see fact from previous post).  Other than Mao, the only other autobiography I'd consider reading is of Bruce Lee. 

This post got me sucked into a Wikipedia adventure.  I spent four hours at work today on one of the most ridiculous Wiki adventures ever.  I went from Bruce Lee, to Jeet Kune Do to Forrest Law to a list of Tekken character to a list of Street Fighter characters.  There was a whole lot in between but you get the point.  After serious Wiki and IMDB adventuring, I started thinking.  And I think I've come up with a new game.  It may not be the best but it certainly is an interesting idea.  A Wikipedia Adventure race!  Two words chosen at random and you have to find Wiki pages to link the two.  For instance, "telephone" and "black hole" might be the two words.  And the shortest amount of links to the word wins.  Sort of like a "6 degrees of separation" thing.  Just a though.  maybe Wiki can make it a feature to add two words and have some algorithm figure out what the path is.  Patent pending.  Don't steal my idea.

I took a driver's training class today for manual transmission.  Wasn't totally worth it but I did get some great tips and practice.  I think I might be ready for my own car.  I'll be checking it out on Saturday.

Until next time,

Bruce Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.
