Wiki's are good


Anyone who knows me, really knows me, will tell you that i am not a populist. Generally i take a dim view of the intellectual laziness of my fellow man. The wiki movement is a form of populism that i fully embrace. The wikipedia and wikis in general are useful ways for those interested in subjects to convey knowledge and info on to the rest of us. Thanks to these wikis i am able to have access to the knowledge of the productive few.

At the moment i am enjoying the wikihow. Some of the guides are dumb and poorly thought through, such as "How to spread propaganda" but most are interesting. I think the wikihow serves as an excellent resource for parents to engage in fun, educational activities with their kids. Whether you want to color carnations or remove the egg shell from an egg with vinigar there is something there worth trying.
