A vast and varied repository of how-to videos ranging from how to use a stick shift to how to apply eye makeup and how to fold an origami falcon (or flower, or fish...). Categories include Home & Garden, Music and Parenting. The Health & Fitness tutorials range from how to give a hot stone massage to beginner yoga, while the Hobbies section covers everything from Juggling Knives and Cha-Cha dancing to Backgammon and Beekeeping. Some 1,800 individuals have contributed content so far, and the extent of their professional experience and expertise is noted in their profiles. For more instructional videos, go to 5min, which calls itself a "life videopedia" and takes submissions from anybody (because "everybody's good at something"). Or try SuTree, which indexes and links to more than 5,000 lessons and lectures found all over the Web. "How to Draw Stewie from Family Guy," for example, is posted on YouTube. If you're a DIY-er seeking written guidance on how to decorate, fix or install things around the house, visit HomeEnvy.
