Hello.
I just noticed that today marks the three-month anniversary of Wikibloogia. So instead of clicking on an article, I will take this opportunity to reflect on Wikibloogia's first three months. Here are some things I've learned, in order of importance:
1. When you leave it up to fate, more often than not Wikipedia is pretty boring. I had expected to come upon fascinating subjects I didn't know about; instead I have tended to arrive at detailed articles about the pilot episode of Babylon 5.
2. According to my random clicking, the majority of Wikipedia articles are about people. I find this interesting, considering that the majority of things in the universe are not people. This shows how much humanity loves itself.
3. Another look at the topics (right side) reveals that entertainment—music, TV, sports—captures most of the population's attention. This is not surprising. What is surprising is that there have been two separate articles about Cleveland, Ohio.
That's all the reminiscing for today. I'll do it again in three months.
Adam
