How I find stuff on the internet

First of all, there's google. Type it in and ye shall find.
But there are a couple things: phone numbers and reverse lookups are at anywho.com, and maps are at mapquest.com.
Anything you like has other things that like it, as well, other pages which point to it. You can find those pages with touchgraph googlebrowser, which you will find in my, Dale Shipley's "slink" section. It's a graphical utility whose engine is google's reverse link function. Use touchgraph and you will find enough shit to keep you neck-deep in data as long as you like. It couldn't be any simpler. Google something bizarre, or silly, or something you heard somewhere, or something you didn't, and go to that page. Then go to the pages that that page suggests. Soon you will come into one of the internet's valleys where things are a lot alike stylistically. When you get tired of it, go somewhere else. There's always somewhere else, and I am never bored by the things that people have created for each other to see and use. Every day it grows and gets better. It's meta-nature, and it warms the cockles of my heart.
