I don’t often go to IMDB. Usually it’s to look up a single movie or actor. I hadn’t realized that they had genre sections, such as their sci-fi section. With over 8 thousand titles listed, that’s at least 16,000 hours (at an average of 2 hours per title).

If you were to watch the movies continuously, it would take you approximately 1 year, 10 months, 1 day and 16 hours. That is… a lot of movies!

There are zillions of blogs out there (or a good couple million, at least). This makes it just a bit difficult for someone to find your blog in particular. How did you find mine? Technorati? A link from somewhere else? Search engine?

It’s too bad that there isn’t an easier way to find  sites and blogs that you like, but Google and Technorati seem to be the best way at the moment.

One thing that would be good, in my opinion, would be a toolbar similar to the StumbleUpon toolbar, only for just blogs. (If they have this, I haven’t seen it.)  You’d choose a type of blog you wanted to see (like technology related), click the button and find a blog.

If there is something like this already out there, I’d like to see it!

I’m trying to figure out what TWERQ is. It seems to be a tabbed search… And a bit odd at that. I’m not sure what the advantage is over searching in multiple FF tabs, maybe someone can explain it to me?

Oh well, it’s interesting anyway.

I file this under ‘programming’ and ‘toys and games’ since when you’re programming games, you often have to find sounds to go with your program. Logical, yes?

FindSounds is a great site for searching for various sounds in different formats. There is no guarantee that the audio files will be copyright free or GPL-able, but at least it’s a good start!

I know I’ve used this site before to search for sounds to use as sounds on my personal computer.

If you go to yugop.com, you’re greeted with… well, strange things. There’s something with clay, something with 2D balls… video capture… I’m not sure what this site is about.

If nothing else, it’s fairly interesting to watch, if a bit on the strange side…

If you don’t know about Archive.org by now, there is little hope for you.

I find the archive features of the site incredibly useful (especially when I find a dead link!) to see what a site used to look like. It’s also great for amusement purposes. What did eBay look like at first? Google? You’ll laugh, no doubt. It’s a great site.

It also has it also has books, music and movies that are either out of copyright or not copyrighted at all or copyrighted for internet distribution. Pretty nifty.
