Today I

Found Out

Posting Schedule

There will be a new “Today I Found Out” article put up once daily Monday-Friday around 2:00 pm-3:00 pm Pacific Standard Time each day.  I will occasionally post articles on the weekend or more than one in a day, but mostly the schedule will stay as stated.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Email from Adam R. “I’d love to write with you or collaborate in some fashion.  Is this possible?”

A. I am always looking for article ideas.  So if you have any you want to share, feel free to email me;  you don’t even have to include any information with the idea.  If you just want to know something, send me what you want to know and if it’s interesting, I’ll do the work necessary to figure it out and write an article on it for your reading pleasure.

In addition to this, if you want to write a complete article and submit it to me to see if I’ll post it on this site, feel free.  Credit in those cases would of course go to you (or whoever you want) and I’ll put links on those articles back to wherever you want to perhaps promote your site(s), if you like.  Something to the effect of “Like this article?  Check out more from X on his/her site here”.  Or something like that.   If you do submit a complete article to me, I reserve the right to edit/modify it before posting and of course reserve the right to not post it possibly.

Q. (from a comment on this site) “What do you see the future of this site being?”

A. For now, pretty much as you see it.  I’ll be posting two new interesting “today I found out” brain food articles a day, every day.  I do reserve the right to add more than two a day, if the mood strikes me, but mostly you’ll see two interesting brain food articles a day up for now.

Eventually, if there seems to be interest in it, I will add features allowing anybody to submit things they learned today, using perhaps the “College Humor” method for submissions.  Where I moderate what gets on the homepage and reimburse you for your time in writing and submitting the article by giving you credit and links back to whatever site you want promoted on your article and if you get more than some X amount of hits on your article, you get Y amount of dollars.  Something like that.

Q. (warning, extremely thinly veiled attempt to get you to subscribe to this site via email) Is there a way to subscribe to this site via email?

A. Absolutely.  We use Feedburner (a Google company) to email people the articles you see on this site.  Any articles we post today will be emailed to you the following night through Feedburner.   And don’t worry, we won’t sell or share your email addresses with anyone else, nor will we spam you in any way.  This subscription is just used for sending you our daily articles through email.  Feedburner handles the rest.    In order to subscribe, just enter your email address in the “Subscribe Via Email” box on the right sidebar of this site.  You can unsubscribe any time if you don’t like it.

Q. I have an idea for an improvement to your site.  Care to hear it?

A. Again, absolutely.  I’m always looking to make the site better and easier to use.  Please do send me your idea.

Q.  I’d like to use one of your articles on my site or publication.  May I?

A. On your site, so long as you make it very clear that it came from my site and give me link credit back to the original article, that would be great.  In the case of a publication or if you are a business wanting to use one of my articles, the answer is probably, though we’d have to work out some deal before hand that would be mutually satisfactory in that case.  In this latter case, email me here and we can work something out.

Q. Who are you and why did you start this site?

A. For the answer of this one, check out my “About” page.
