Knowing what your computer is doing, how it works, and how to take care of it is really cool. It's probably one of the most powerful devices anyone has on hand at any given time, and it pays off to know exactly what it's doing and what you can do with it. Technical literacy doesn't need to be boring, and at the very least you get to feel like Trinity or Neo from the Matrix.

It's far too easy for me to burn a few hours digging through Wikipedia hyperlinks and trawling through yards of text. It's a very fun way to gain cursory knowledge about possibly obscure topics, and you can find some pretty bizarre stuff if you know where to look.

I'm admittedly a sucker for a local paper, and that increases tenfold when it shines light on otherwise underreported stories through a progressive lens. In Gainesville, this manifests in The Gainesville Iguana. You can find them at pretty much any record store, library, etc... for free!!!! The ads also expose you to local establishments and groups you might otherwise not have known about. There's a sense of community that emanates from the paper that you don't get in any of your other standard publications.

It can give new perspective on what's actually around you. A lot of the time, the veil of the windshield and fiberglass can keep the outside world as more of a backdrop instead of a lived-in space.
