How I ended up here
One of the things I enjoy most is going from a Wikipedia entry I used to answer a quick question to following any number of links that spark my curiosity. (You might even gather this from my sometimes random, often minor contributions.)

I’ll admit, I have a hard time letting little things go. So my first edits, and even the decision to make an account, were largely because when I saw an inconsistently spelled name or missing punctuation, I thought, ''well, that couldn’t be too difficult to fix. And someone really ought to. And I’m already here. Who knows the next time someone else might come along?''

In a way, I see Wikipedia as a way to pass it forward to a stranger. Someone took the care to build an entry from nothing, and others continued shaping it, trusting that, at some point, it may answer another's query or fulfill their curiosity.

Websites I appreciate
Here are a few websites that I think align with the Wikipedian spirit of collaboration and sharing resources:


 * I have yet to buy a pair of shoes without navigating to Ian's Shoelace Site after for the perfect funky way to re-lace them.


 * I can't speak for how often you have need for finding themed idioms, but when I'm titling papers, book chapters, or making party invitations, I use Learn English Today to find the *perfect* one, as both their entries and categories are numerous.


 * As someone who loves movies but not gore, Does the Dog Die? helps me avoid, or at least anticipate it. If you typically head to Letterboxd after a movie, consider going here as well and taking a minute to help other viewers.
