List of Educational Websites | Part Five

We proceed with part five of the "Ultimate List of Educational Websites" and we concentrate this time on habits that may improve your life.

Lifehacks

• zen habits - breathe zen habits
• Lifehacker - Do everything better
• The Art of Manliness - Men's Interests and Lifestyle
• lifehackninja.com - domain has expired

Our day-to-day lives are made up of habits, some that have been purposely well developed and others that are less effective. It never hurts to learn new skills. I'm not sure about recommending a site called "The Art of Manliness" as they may have some outdated concepts for masculinity, but it's worth reading with a critical eye open.

List of Educational Websites | Part Four

Continuing part four of the "Ultimate List of Educational Websites" and my efforts to make it browsable and clickable, we get a miscellaneous list.

Random Knowledge

• Mental Floss
• F*cking Homepage (warning, language)
• Snopes.com - The definitive fact-checking site and reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation.
• Now I Know - Learn Something New Every Day, By Email by Dan Lewis
• Badass of the Week
• Sporcle - World’s Largest Trivia Quiz Website
• ifeveryoneknew.com - appears to be down
• Wikipedia

Of course, I'm a big fan of Wikipedia, and I'm fond of calling it the current repository of the grand sum total of all human knowledge (so far). Sure enough, it really is the encyclopedia that anyone can update. And that is not without flaws. But the fact that anyone can edit it and there are subject matter volunteers curating and moderating most edits, I've found it reliable and trustworthy on most things.

The site Now I Know is new to me, but their catch-phrase of That's Half the Battle is a well-worn meme from my childhood, when the G.I. Joe cartoons were popular.
