At play in the fields of the bored

This topic is from Ken Jennings's blog today. It's about Wikibedia, not us though.

Yes, I get an RSS feed from them which has the link to their web page. I never go to the web page because the RSS message has the whole text.

Anyway, I get everything from Amazon.com! :)

Of course! It's gone up 2.5 times in the last year.
