As alway

3. Steven-pedia (or paedia if you must)
Wikipedia: of the people, by the people. Or more specifically, by 1 people: Steven Pruitt. Meet the dude behind about a third of what’s on Wikipedia.

Bonus fun fact. Check out the mythology behind my family name “Lim” here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_(surname)

4. Buy me a river
