My contributions to human knowledge
In a strange fit of fascination with the Wikipedia Web site, I decided to write a pair of articles there about things I know. I expanded the article on Garmin, the GPS company. Then I found an old paper I wrote for a journalism history class in college and wrote an entirely new article on The Corvallis Gazette-Times, my old hometown newspaper, and the place where I started my professional career as a reporter in 1989. (I was a sports reporter in those days. Weird, no?)
It’s amazing what you can find out from this thing. I looked up “Yorkville” which is the name of the Manhattan neighborhood in which I live. Now I know the area was home to a lot of German immigrants, but yikes.
