Things I learned lately 5 June

  • The north star is the 49th brightest star in the night sky. It's definitely not the brightest.
  • The original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service, influenced by the website Hot or Not. Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site's founders deciding to accept uploads of any type of video.
  • The Kerby Centre on 7th Ave in downtown Calgary was built as the original Mount Royal College (now University) in 1948
