Changing HTML (Hack) - 1 views

  •  
    I found this as a fun video. T This video is in respect to today's (27SEP13) Google Doodle (or Game). It shows an individual changing the HTML in order to "Win" or achieve a higher score for the game itself. These steps can be done by anybody. However, I feel like this individual has too much time on their hands and could be putting their skills to better use.

Where do people get their news? - 0 views

  •  
    Here's a recent article published in April about where people get their news.
  •  
    That's useful, Milan, thanks. Note, though that it's not super-clear what "get" means in this context -- I'm sure a lot of people, like me, get their news from several of these sources. I get news from radio, the Web (including newspaper websites and Google News), and social media, and I'm not sure which of those sources is primary.

List of Dewey Decimal Classes - 0 views

  •  
    This is the Wikipedia page dedicated to the Dewey Decimal Classes. I thought this page was laid out very well and informative. It helps to show categories and numbers and allows individuals who don't know much about the Dewey Decimal system to gain valuable information into how it works.

Listen To Wikipedia Be Edited - 1 views

  •  
    This website, while not very informative, is very interesting. It displays the updates on Wikipedia articles through sounds.
  •  
    Hey, that is neat.
  •  
    I think it's done in HTML5, which may be why I don't get any sound for it in Chrome -- not all browsers can manage all features of the new, drastically revised version of HTML yet.
