What?

I'm setting a goal for myself in 2010 to learn something new every day. It could be big, it could be small, it could be trivial, it could be monumental. The point is to take on some new piece of information in some fashion -- and then to share it here, as a warehouse for my own reference, and possibly yours! My goal is to turn this into an information sharing project which largely benefits me (hey-o, selfish!). I'd like the people of the world to tell me something new and exciting, something I didn't know.

Questions:

Why did you call this blog 'Learn A Thing' when that's so grammatically incorrect?

Because that was one of the things that I learned as a kid: grammar. Since I'm embracing this as a somewhat childish expedition, I am reverting back to my less-than-perfect grammatical phase as well.

Aren't there a million other 'fact of the day' websites out there?

Probably, yes. But those don't help me to archive stuff where I can find it easily and reference it later.

Where are you going to find all this information?

From you! Or your friends! Or family! Or whoever! I'd like to be introduced to new and wonderous things - things that I probably wouldn't have otherwise come across! Ideas and stories and people and places and skills and art and music and books and on and on and on. You don't know what you don't know. Or, at least I don't.

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

Yes and no. Yes, I have a full-time job, a full-time hobby, a full-time blog, a husband, a cat, friends, etc. BUT I also have a mind that's open to the world... how else am I going to experience life, but to live it and learn it? So in that sense, it's the best way that I could possibly spend my time.
