### Serendipity: or the fundamental interconnectedness of all things

> [The World Wide Web is] the only thing I know of whose shortened form β€” www β€” takes three times longer to say than what it’s short for. – Douglas Adams

When reading my river of news, I often come across interesting cross-links and related ideas. (I guess because I am reading lots of sources there are *bound *to be some that are related.) Nevertheless, I am often struck by how mysteriously serendipitous these discovered links often are! Take for example my experience today. Early in my feed reading I came across this blog entry in the Learning lab about how *not *to make PowerPoint presentations. Later on, I found Tony Hirst’s article about Digital Media which included that video, as well as this example of a good PowerPoint presentation that I’d seen and bookmarked some time ago, and much else beside. As Dirk Gently would probably say β€œbe open to the *fundadamental interconnectedness of all things*.”
