Most people have a couple areas of knowledge. We’re talking about subjects on which they know all kind of mind blowing facts and of which it seems they can never stop talking. Mostly these areas of expertise are related to our jobs, hobbies and interests. I’ve got a couple of friends who, just like myself I must admit 
, can bring up the most useless facts at the strangest moments. Its something I love about them and guess its something you pick up when you read a lot.
Now anyone will underline that it’s important to develop a deep understanding of the things that matter most to us. It is just as important to develop a broad understanding of the world in general. Part of this, is learning stuff about everyday things in my eyes. Where a lot of people think that learning is something exclusive for students, something that stops at a certain age, I consider it a daily challenge. I believe in the lifelong practice of learning and like the fact that it feeds inspiration & innovation.
Now if you also consider the last statement to be true, here’s something you might like: Learn Something Everyday. Its been a regular in my RSS for a while know and I’ve learned to really appreciate the mindless infotainment they offer. Learn something everyday is an ongoing project from Young, a design studio based in Manchester (UK). Each day they add a trivial fact to the site, which is illustrated with a simple and humorous drawing. I suggest you have a little peak at them and garantee you’ll learn something new. Btw, readers are also welcomed to submit their own facts to the site. So if you’ve got a good fact send it to them or simply post it as a comment to this post and share with us your wisdom. Out.
