thoughts at an ungodly hour

[holli]

I'm sitting here listening to my vast collection of pirated mp3s (thanks, Limewire!), and it's occuring to me that the Internet is a wonderful thing. I can find just about any damn thing that strikes my fancy, and that's especially evident when you look at my GrayAMP playlist. I can find any song I want, no matter how obscure-- I want Ben Folds singing "Hava Nagila?" Well, I can damn well find it, and find that it kicks ASS. Same goes for a punk cover of "The Rainbow Connection," or most of Beck's "Sea Change" five minutes after I heard songs from it on SNL. The Internet's great for that kind of niche; interest in something relatively obscure and geeky is, after all, how the Buffistas got started.

Sometimes I wonder how people managed to be geeks without the Internet, and then I feel very, very young.

Geeks today have it so easy! (Imagine me thumping my cane on the floor.) In my day we had to travel uphill both ways to log onto a steam-powered computer. Harumph!
