23 Things continued.......

I found a Wikipedia article about my son Kris' band - Brand New Sin - and was able to edit the two minor mistakes very easily. I remember that we had to use a Wiki alot back when we were making that transition to POLARIS.

I think it's neat that anyone can chime in with what they know about a given subject but the fact that Wikipedia articles are so easy to create/alter should make anyone very hesitant about trusting the accuracy of the information contained in them. I have, however, resorted to Wikipedia when I can't remember things like the title of a song or the author of a book and want a quick "jog" to my memory.

BTW: If I hadn't been following our 23 Things, I would never have guessed at the origin of the word "Wiki". For some reason, I had it in my head that it had something to do with that ubiquitous "wi" that gets attached to all things wireless.

I am trying to do the multimedia thing now without much luck. I guess I'll have to wait until Nancy Boisseau comes back from her vacation and see what I am doing wrong.
