Kinoma Notes

When I was a kid, I couldn’t get enough of “how stuff works” books. Pre-Game Boy, they were one of the few things that could keep me occu­pied for a few hours — it was really cool to learn about the secrets behind of every­day things.

Recently, one of our cus­tomers (thanks, Grogck!) let us know about a cool col­lec­tion of pod­casts from the How­Stuff­Works folks. Like the books I used to love, they’re full of inter­est­ing revelations.

The How­Stuff­Works pod­casts are avail­able right now, in Kinoma Guide > Edu­ca­tion > How­Stuff­Works.
