I find it curiously interesting how small and large the Internet can be. Take, for instance, the amount of RSS feeds I read (about 80), and how many of them point to the same information. Different writers cover different angles of a story, but for the most part the information is the same. That makes the Internet seem small to me.
Next, notice how many blogs and blog services are out there -- minus weblogs, of course. Tonight, I came across Wil Wheaton dot Net. I thought, "Isn't that the kid who used to be on Star Trek NG?" Then, I thought, "It must be some clown with the same name." A little further perusing of the site cured me of my skepticism. How large must the Internet be, that a former child actor can have a pretty extensive blog, and I am, just now, discovering it?
My point is the wealth of information that is available out there is incredible. Finding it takes persistence and quite a bit of careful observance. A number of times, I've thought about closing down this blog, but I realize that someday, maybe, some poor soul searching for knowledge, will trip on the few pebbles I've left behind to find my way home.
