On This Day

Brilliant examples of setting your ip free. We've added a script authored by the good folks at newlinks that shows the Wikipedia entries for events in history on this date.

We can remember when Compton's or Funk and Wagnall’s encyclopedias where the only way to get research made available to the masses. Volumes of these things took over whole rooms and were proudly displayed, as if they imparted their knowledge on those fortunate enough to afford them.

That knowledge has been made available, for free, surely upending Compton's business model. And now it's even easier to find from links on blog posts. Thanks mmChronic - whoever you are.
