Learn about whatever you want.

This is a fantastic "how-to" website. It is called SoYouWanna.com. Basically, if there is something that you want to know how to do, they probably can tell you how to go about it. Everything from "How to join the CIA." to "How to make a Vegan Burrito." The image from the left is from "get a sex change." Yea, it seems pretty complete.

This is a cute little animation that reminds me of stomp, it is done by someone calling themselves dustball.
