Thing #41: There's No Excuse Not To Learn! (or "How To" 2.0)

Learning is indeed something everyone should continue to do throughout their life. These tutorial sites were fun to look at and see the many different things you can learn about.

The two I found that were interesting were from the Instructables and Graspr sites.

The one from Instructables was on how to build Angel wings, so pretty cool if I ever decided to build a costume like that.

The one from Graspr was on how to open a coconut.  It was very informative but I'm still afraid that I would probably cut a finger off or something if I tried it.  The information is good to know anyway though.




The sites are fun because they are both easy to navigate and have a wide variety of topics.  There are many advantages to these sites because they allow information to be out there that people might not know or can be a quick refresher if you have a question.  In that respect they are better then some how to books which are pretty massive.  These short videos and tutorials are better then flipping through a giant book and are more interactive.  They would probably be best used and seen as supplements to a library collection.  For an in depth topic you would be more likely to use a book but for something fast these tutorials are key.
