Thank goodness for www. howstuffworks.com.
HowStuffWorks is a collection of cool articles that explain everything under the sun. Actually, the feature about how the sun works is pretty cool, too. The site strives to make all the technology clear and understandable. Each article contains links to explanations of underlying technologies, information on related topics, and a biography of the author.
