Expert's e-Village. Wow.

Have you ever wanted to learn something fancy that'll catch someone's eye, or simply just to know something you've taken an interest in? Then if you haven't know about this, here's one place that may help you attain some knowledge through watching videos - and no, I'm not talking about YouTube. No, actually, its Expert Village.

YouTube was never my cup of tea, since most of the videos I've seen there didn't leave much of a meaning to me - but that was for another post entry. Back to Expert Village. Why is it special to me? For one basic reason - you get good-quality videos from people on any topic under the sun, from keeping scores in tennis, to hip-hop dance moves, to organising beauty pageants. Yes, you didn't get the last one wrong. How cool is that?

Another reason, is that those videos are really produced, uploaded by, and approved by, professionals. If you doubt it, there's an article below every video that shortly describes the experts on the video, such as their occupations, their academic achievements, and such.

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to embed a video or two onto this post entry, due to problems with the HTML scripts. So instead, try to visit the site yourself when you have the time. Trust me, its worth taking your time to sign up to the site, then search for videos on any thing that came accross your mind.

Currently, I'm watching its featured video on how to do a magic pen trick. Anyway, this goes on to show us that the Internet has a treasure trove for us if we presevere. Sometimes, we simply have to look under every nook and cranny, until we looked into the right place, and voila, there it is for our taking.

That, I think, would be one of the many good things about the Internet - when you have a sense of adventure as you dive into the sea of knowledge.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get on your next bite." I guess the same goes for the Internet.
