<b>Wired</b> published a <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.08/howtointro.html" title="how to feature">special &#8220;How to&#8230;&#8221; feature</a>. <i>&#8220;We live in the age of DIY. Knowing how to use the technology that surrounds you is good &#8211; a little creative hacking is even better. This special section is your instruction book on how to do, well, anything &#8211; &#8230; &#8211; Kiss Default mode good-bye – and step up to the tweaked-out, souped-up, overclocked life you crave. &#8220;</i></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already ready Wired&#8230; this issue is worth  spending some time on. You&#8217;ll find a surprising article by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert" title="Stephen Colbert"><b>Stephen Colbert</b></a> on <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.08/colbert.html" title="Expert on anythin">&#8220;How to be an expert on anything&#8221;</a>. From telling you to <i>&#8220;pick a field that can&#8217;t be verified&#8221;</i> to just saying that <i>&#8220;being famous helps&#8221;</i>&#8230; Colbert brings all sorts of ideas in his definition of the anti-expert. Anyway, even if you don&#8217;t plan to follow his hints, they will definitely make you smile.</p>
