Remember when we cared about the internet?

Reading a little article about how <a
href="http://meta.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/02/1553218">slashdot
came about</a> (about to read the other parts if I can find them,
while I wait for I.T to fix stuff for me), it got me all nostalgic
about those heady times when I was at the end/out of high school and I
really loved the internet and all things computer related. Reading
this article made me also realise that this guy who created slashdot
is not much older than myself, then I started to feel annoyed that I
never got off my arse and did something back then that I would have
found cool. I guess when I was just finished high school I thought I
was already too late! All this Internet stuff was booming! Amazon,
MP3.com, Ebay, Yahoo, I thought these juggernauts had everything
covered, I thought everyone else had everything covered, even when I
started working for MP3 aye yoo I felt that the company I was in was
too late getting in the game (years later I realised I was right and
wrong there...) but hell, when I look back on it now I feel like the
internet was still like a small child.

I guess my whole point is that I should stop thinking it is too late
to try something, not that I really have anything now that I want to
try, which sucks and something I attribute to getting old and not
exercising that "inventor" side of the brain.

Ok rambly drawn out blog (I've been writing this word by word over 4
hours :/ ) over.
