But does anyone ever miss the old days of the internet? Back before everything was googled and facebook and +1'd and liked and youtubed and covered in wall-to-wall targetted advertisement.

Sure there was a lot of crap but there was always a sense that you were one hyperlink away from some burgeoning little community, or mindblowing hidden knowledge.

Does anyone remember when they first stumbled upon The Brunching Shuttlecocks or OMM or early something Awful or DrBizarro.com or The Church of the Subgenius or Lyceum or some dude's Geocities site with an MP3 listing of all the albums of some unknown alternative band you'd never heard of but fell in love with?

Christ, the last time I stumbled upon something like that (And you really had to stumble upon that shit back in the day.) was almost 10 years ago.

Anyway, just drunken rambling. Nothing to see here.
