‘Down the rabbit hole’ is an English-language idiom or trope which refers to getting deep into something, or ending up somewhere strange. Lewis Carroll introduced the phrase as the title for chapter one of his 1865 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, after which the term slowly entered the English vernacular. The term is usually used as a metaphor for distraction. In the 21st century, the term has come to describe a person who gets lost in research or loses track of time while using the internet.

There’s something fun about finding a topic of interest and spending hours on Wikipedia chasing more information and knowledge about it. The thing is, it just stays in my brain until an opportunity arises to dazzle friends with a random tidbit or have some confidence behind an answer at bar trivia on a Tuesday night.
The concept behind a site like lo-fy has been on my mind for some time. I wanted an excuse to dive a little deeper or spend more time learning about things I find interesting and having a place to catalog it all.
If you’re into this kind of nerdery, then welcome aboard. This will be a lot of fun!
