A voice in the crowd.

Do you remember the days of pirate radio? Sure you do. Such carefree times, when a lone nerd could usurp some of the power of the major radio corporations, broadcasting to his/her entire neighborhood whatever s/he wanted. As long as you knew what frequency to tune into. And you were within range. And the playlist didn't suck.

Ah, but now, we have the magic of the internet. And it turns out, the internet is pretty damn big. It's bigger than magazines and catalogues put together (I assume). Follow the link, and you'll find that in 2000, the big milestone we hit was a thousand times smaller than this one. In eight years, the internet has increased a thousand fold. Much of it is for good, some is for ill, but mostly, it's a bunch of people just trying to find a way to pass the time.

And I, for one, am grateful. Now if only they'd invent a time machine so I could find a way to make it all go even faster.
