Foolish Babe April 17th, 2008

So I have been thinking a lot about wikis lately. Don’t laugh. I know I have issues! Anyway, until recently I only thought of wikis as online encyclopedias. I never considered the fact that you could actually have a wiki populated with a heck of a lot more information than just encyclopedia-like stuff. I recently attended a Web 2.0 seminar during which the word wiki was uttered oh, maybe a gazillion times. Okay, maybe not that many times but man, was it a hot topic. I was fascinated by what some folks are doing in the world of wikis. They are using wikis to capture all kinds of information. Information currently stored in Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, power point presentations etc. (As a side note, I despise power point presentations. I will do everything I can to stay away from them. They are boring, boring, boring. A bunch of fancy slides with no real meat). Two of the presenters at this seminar briefed us by way of a wiki. How cool is that?!

Anyway, the more I thought about wikis, the more jazzed I got. So much so that we’re planning on testing the waters with a Blundering Fools wiki. The whole point of online communities is to share information with each other so that we may learn from others’ experiences and gain a larger perspective of the world in which we live. I meant for that to come across a hell of a lot more profound. It’s late and that’s all I have. Plus, Foolish Cat is waiting for me. We are watching I AM LEGEND tonight.

Foolish Cat and I launched this blog because we wanted to connect with others who share similar views as us. We believe that in order to learn and grow, you have to take chances and yes, you have to blunder along the way. Otherwise, how are you going to learn?

We are passionate about life and everything it has to offer. We have blundered and have downright experienced darkness and despair but man, we never gave up. We kept on keeping on. We are determined to live each day to the fullest and we strongly believe that everything happens for a reason.

So, here is what we’d like to do. We are going to add a wiki to Blundering Fools and let you all populate it with your experiences–the places you’ve been to, the things you’ve done, mistakes you may have made along the way, lessons learned etc. The only thing we’ll ask of you is to keep the Blundering Fools wiki in the true spirit of Blundering Fools which is all about taking life up a notch.

We would love to hear from you. Please let us know what you think about this idea. Feel free to leave a comment or send us an email.

As always, blunder on, fools!
