omg !! brave manI got to the end of the internet
i have only seem the beginnings of the bright light at the end .. i turned and googled my way in another direction as fast as i could !!
Dave - that's a pretty open ended question you've posed. It seems like regardless of the topic of interest, the number of related sites is staggering. Not all are worthwhile but there's enough information to overflow my capacity. At last check, I had about 34 bytes of functional RAM left in my brain on good days. A few areas I use to suck up time are cooking/sausage making/bread making, sport kites, contract bridge and amateur astronomy. I've never gotten near the bright lights at the end.
The problem with education in the School of Hard Knocks is that by the time you're educated, you're too old to do anything.
What I was interested in was any hobbies one may have an interest in they enjoy.
For example, I got to reading one night about Coleman Lanterns. The forums collectors use was an interesting read. When they were made, what models were worth money and why.

I like ebay discussion boards.... learning a lot in a lot of boards.
use stumble upon ... its a tool bar. It finds stuff that you didnt know you were even looking for... all based on the stuff you already view. It is a really neat little program.

Many members just like you have found extraordinary value in becoming a financial supporter of SMC.
I find Wikipedia is often a good place to start. Even if the Wiki article is lousy, it will usually have some good links for further reference.
I used to read a web site called "Damn Interesting". Although the prose was seriously lacking, the information was in fact very interesting. Last I checked, there hadn't been any new articles posted for many months. But you might find the archives worthwhile.

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Every silver lining has a cloud around it
I like the www.artofmanliness.com A lot of politically incorrect thinking and ideas of the past. Not an obnoxious site; just from a different time.
Saltwater reef fish tanks. Reefcentral.com
That is a TOPIC, I got into it in the "stone age" about 23 years ago. I have a friend that just got into it, I invited him over to check out my "library" over 200 books on every topic reef from then to now he almost passed out.
For pure surfing I like to go to Wikipedia and just start with a search for anything, although not everything on Wiki is fact or well written it does take you in all manner of directions.
