Wiki, wiki, what, what!?

Some of you may have heard about this little user-generated content site called Wikipedia. I was madly in love from the first search.

Now granted, you never know who is authoring these entries. I once saw an entry that claimed former first lady Laura Bush aborted babies for fun on the weekends. While not a fan of the entire Bush clan, I kinda doubted the validity of that one. There is a system of checks and balances to verify data, so that particular page didn't last long, sadly.

I even wrote a wiki once for a former client.

I recently found a new love. I don't feel it's cheating, because it's yet another wiki ... so as long as you keep it in the family, right?

It's called Wikimedia Commons and it's a file sharing site, which is the shit. You may not know why now, but trust me, the shit it is. Why just this week I was crafting a little video for the DOT and thought to myself, "Self, what this needs is a touch of Vivaldi."

Enter Wikimedia Commons. Not only did I download a copywrite-free version of "Spring" but I also snatched some Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, all of which will be featured in a future video of my creation.

I know. It's sugar, isn't it?

Yeah, life sucked before the Internet.
