Happy 10th Birthday, Wikipedia!
Today, January 15th, is Wikipedia’s 10th anniversary. The site first went online on January 15th of 2001. Back then, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook didn’t even exist!
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Of course this can lead to problems because the information is not always accurate. However, there are systems in place that prevent the editing of some pages which are susceptible to vandalism.
Wikipedia was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Singer. Their original project was called Nupedia, and was a project to produce a free encyclopedia written by professionals. However, production of articles were slow, so they discussed how they might make it better. It was discussed that it should be more open to editing, and on January 10, 2001, the idea of Wikipedia was born.
On January 15, 2001, the wikipedia.com domain was registered and went online.
There are over 3.5 million articles in English alone. The site also features articles in over 270 languages.

A New Year. A New Blog Post
Well, I haven’t posted on here since October, so I think it is time to do so again.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! It’s now 2011. Anyone got any plans for this year? I have plans to save up some money and go to college in the fall. I’d like to take Computer Science. I enjoy working with computers, figuring out problems with them, and I enjoy programming websites and stuff like that.
I had a great Christmas! I got to spend some time together with my family. I hope you all had a great Christmas as well.
So, what do you think 2011 will bring? iPad 2, iPhone 4G? Windows 8?
I really don’t know what to say. I need to get back into the blogging mode I guess.
I’ll have more to say another day.
