just like tv.

TV is pure evil, at least on the internet you can research interesting things, TV is just non-stop brainwashing advertising.

I have noticed that myself, however slashdot.org has some interesting articles every now and again.

Ebay has a lot of crap too. :lol:

Mr Springsteen famously sung, 47 Channels and nothin' on. Now I have several hundred on Satellite I often feel the same way but the internet ! wow there has to be something out there, doesn't there  . . . . . . ? ? surely, maybe, perhaps, please.......

I want to find something on the internet but can't.  I want to read about Henry Van Brunt, an architect from the 1880's.

There is nothing of substance about him, and that is why the internet sucks.

I assume you caught the photo from the Kansas City Library site?



Looks like a nice guy, Henry does....  

They're not extensive, but I found a couple of interesting Van Brunt quotes in the article
An Historical Perspective of Kansas City's Twelfth Street Trafficway Viaduct: 1911-1915.

the problem with a little porn is that it's not a lot of porn.

Thanks Kerry. I hadn't seen the photo.  The KCPL is at 10th and I live on 6th so I guess I need to walk over there and actually check out a book.  I did read that article on the 12th street bridge.  Interesting stuff.

The freakin' internet turns some people to the dark side...makes 'em forget about their family and they get obsessed with it. It's a pretty neat tool for research (if you can sort through all the crap) and I think it's ok for checking something like Advance Auto or or someplace to see what price and availability they have on an item. Other than that, I really wish the internet had never been invented. I know it's causing us problems on a scale I would have never dreamed. Love the GS, hate the internet (what kind of cultural diffusion is going on here anyway), but I love all you forum guys.
