You learn something new every day, whether or not you realize it right away. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Today I learned the difference between bowler hats, pork pie hats and fedoras. Before today, they were all just fedoras to me. It never occurred to me that all three of these different hat styles had different names.

I also learned that Roseanne is Jewish, and that gummy shot glasses exist.

It doesn't have to be anything life-changing or significant or anything, just something that you learned. So AG, I ask you now, what did you learn today?

Why is that?
Is it the fact that we're exposed to fast paced technological advance everyday that the rest seems to stand still?

Not much happens every day in our lives. Just a few things every few days. With the internet something new and exciting seems to happen every day at almost every second. Therefore our minds feel as though time goes faster on the internet than in real life.

I learned that catching a lizard and holding it up to my face isn't a good idea. I almost swallowed it when it escaped...

That CS 191 is a useless class, bookstores never have enough of the books you need, and the instructions for what I need to code are confusing.

Today I learned that the show "How I Met Your Mother" is actually pretty cool. I find myself watching it every now and then and liking it. Who would have thought?
