I was never one to actively tune out during class — well, maybe certain mind-numbing trigonometry lessons, let's be honest — but there's still oh so much more to know about the world. And one of the best entry points to learning more is the internet, where boredom tends to lose to fascination.
If you know where to look, you can always find what other curious folks have shared around and learn from them. Careful, though, once you get going, it's hard to stop!
