You know how one topic leads to another; and before you know it you have accumulated another x KB of potentially useless but fascinating information by clicking links online when you know you have extremely important but inversely boring things to do? I call these 'hyperlink journeys'. They are essentially linear by nature, though not necessarily sequential. For example, a 'knowledge path' may diverge and each option would be explored in turn till their end was reached.
Here's one I made the other day.
'Throwies' on Wikipedia produced a pair of paths:
> invented by the Grafitti Research Laboratory > The Boston Mooninite Scare
> Alamo at Astor Place, NYC > Rubik Cube stunt.
