If you don't know someone that knows everyone, you should. This person is your resource for all things un-thought of. It used to be our grandparents or their friends, but now we have gravitated towards the internet for our life guidance. This blog is an attempt to curate a conversation about how to get things done, do them well, and do them on your own.
YouTube is great for a lot of simple things like plunging a toilet or mopping floors. It can even be useful for more complicated tasks like electronics repair and cooking. Even so, sometimes you need a person to talk to about what's going on and how to fix it. Here's how it works.
Get on reddit. Just do it if you haven't already. Ignore the front page and dive into specific "sub-reddits". These communities deal with everything from crafting to computer programming and are usually super welcoming to noobs. This is kinda the virtual realization of clubs in high school. Like-minded people gathering together to share their enthusiasm on a hobby or interest. Some quick recommendations:
r/cooking - Just what it sounds like. Cooks gather and share/brag recipes and techniques.
r/gardening- Again, just what it says. Specific types of gardening have their own "subs"
r/dyi- Questions about home improvement/maintenance and everything that comes with it.
r/askreddit- Catch all sub for the odd questions that don't fit anywhere else
Starting here can open new lanes of information that you might not have even thought about. There are very few questions that a combination of reddit and Wikipedia can't answer.
Feel free to contact me with your ideas for this blog. I'm hoping it will grow organically with input from readers. Take care, and have fun.
