Sometimes, when surfing the net, it feels like there's so much information out there that's completely ordinary, utterly meaningless, and endlessly repeated. Then suddenly, you find something interesting. It's almost like Indiana Jones delving into a jungle with broad leaves of irrelevence and trees of distraction under endless skies of banality

I'm tempted to macro this "Exploratory mouse is Exploratory." and submit it to ICHC...

I like the "glowy" effect on that picture. Very neat :)

That isn't strictly true, though.
There's a massive depth of knowledge out there... you just have to dive through the pond scum of: faceless peoples' personal dramas of who-kissed-who at the party last Friday, the people whose 3rd job is telling you how to make a million dollars a month by working at home, and shops that want to sell you stuff that's questionably related to the information you're seeking... all without bumping your head on the rocky seabed of being too technical to understand.

It's there, only it's hard to find because people pad their pages with 40,000 irrelevent key words to generate more hits, and search engines will index indexes of indexes. It's not that the google (or any other crawler) can't find pages mentioning what I want to find, it that the pages they find are lying about their content.

This is all a very old complaint, and I have no new solutions.
