Who doesn’t like picnics at this time of year?
Especially given an opportunity to meetup with strangers that all share a common goal of editing and improving WIKIPEDIA.

The more things change, the more things change.
Some places are known for blowing the existing up and rebuilding from the ashes, history be damned. Other places embrace their history, making it difficult for any new development to take place lest it disturb the historical (in)significance of what’s present.
That’s why Web Watch loves websites like WHAT WAS THERE, as it tries to capture the glory of history, without worrying about keeping the march of progress down.
Idiots on the Miniature Golf Course
Rick Baird from Charlotte, North Carolina, is not an idiot, nor does he play “miniature golf”.
He plays Putt-Putt, and he’s really good at it.
Web Watch knows you’re confused — isn’t putt-putt golf and miniature golf the same thing? No, dear reader, it isn’t. Putt-Putt is a franchised company that defines a standard set of putting challenges that will be mainly the same from one Putt-Putt location to another. Consistency is important here, and putting is a true skill to be showcased.
Miniature golf, on the other hand, is the one with windmills, gorillas, fake blue water, tunnels, obstacles, and other entertainment stuff scattered across the putting surface and environment. Definitely not the same thing.

How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul
How much “stuff” do you have?
George Carlin used to joke about needing a “place for your stuff”. Look around – it’s just a bunch of stuff lying around your house, isn’t it?
Stuff you don’t need.
Stuff you can’t even remember why it’s there in the first place.
Stuff you have to decide to leave behind if a flood comes. Stuff you have to recover if you were ever burgled. Stuff you might need to list in a divorce proceeding. Stuff you’ll have to go through once your parents pass away years from now.
Have you ever thought that maybe you have too much stuff?
NOMA: A Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine
(a look at the World’s Best Restaurant)
If you, like Web Watch, like to travel to the Best Places in the World, then you have most definitely heard of Denmark’s Noma, a 12-seat restaurant just outside Copenhagen.
Of course you’ve heard of Noma – it’s only been named the BEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD for 2011. Still doesn’t ring a bell? Does it help if it also earned the Best Restaurant title in 2010 also?
Yeah, now you know what we’re talking about.
So while RESTAURANT magazine can’t go and visit every single restaurant in the world, they do have a pretty good handle on who the top chefs are and what makes them tick. Sure, the majority of these top places are located in Europe, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to make your way to any of these fine establishments for a gourmet meal that you’ll never forget.
When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes
With all the recent catastrophic earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, acts of terror, random radiation accidents, or other significant environmental and man-made events happening, one question on your mind should be “what should I do if I find myself in this situation?”
More importantly, what should you do to be sure to reconnect with family or friends if a major situation occurs and you’re separated across town or across the country?
If you’ve been out of work for any length of time during this recession, you may want to consider that the issue with your lack of good job prospects may not have anything to do with WHAT you want to do, but rather WHERE you’re trying to work.
Some women are not superficial. They look beyond the initial image a potential date puts out, and see the beauty inside.
Seriously – how many fugly guys do you see that are involved in some relationship or other out there? That’s exactly our point – there’s SOMEone out there for EVERYone.
And aside from the traditional lack of good looks, smart kids (also known as nerds) are often left behind in the dating scene.
