'Destiny'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Actually, Johnson did the emergency relief thing in the playoffs before, back when he was with Seattle. He came in in extra innings to win a division series against the Yankees. Very dramatic.
And it forever fixed ED-GAAAR into the Northwest lexicon.
Later that year came the Seinfeld where they think George died, and when Steinbrenner is trying to break it to the Costanzas, George's father responds, "Why did you trade Jay Buhner?"
Wikipedia rocks. I don't use it as a final source, but it's great for browsing and illuminating.
IMDB coulda been a wiki, couldn't it?
I tend to end up consulting it for math questions fairly often.
(Wikipedia. Not IMDB. Cause that'd be kind of strange.)
I don't use it as a final source,
I use it as a beginning source though. It's been super helpful for my dante stuff.
I use it as a middle source. I still google first, scan the first page or so of hits to get a sense of the web out there, and then if it's something I can distill to a term I click on the definition highlight top right, read the dictionary, etc entries, and then usually use the wikipedia entry on that page as a starting point. From there, to be sure, I hit up Encyclopaedia Britannica or some similar pro source, if I need more than an understanding or perspective.
I love various researching techniques!
I start with wikipedia as general overview and to see what links they have. Once i get a handle on what I'm looking for, I google with more specificity, and in the case of Dante, do the academic google.
I apparently am uninterested in actual knowledge. I only like factoids. Anyway, I use wikipedia once in a while, when I think of it.
For school I use paid databases.

I have access to Books 24x7 through work, and rarely remember to use the damned thing. Text of actual books, and I'd rather google and surf. I don't think digitising books works for me -- I'm better off in something that was created ground up for the web.

Hmm.
Hey, there was a Krav Maga reference on HIMYM!
