soul surfs exposed<\/u><\/b> – link at 11<\/p>\n

OK children, storytime. Once upon a time Soulhuntre<\/a>
\n decided he was just dying to share all this cool stuff he finds on the web with
\n his less surf inclined friends and relatives. A mailing list was born and continues
\n to thrive to this day*.<\/p>\n

Story Time: See children, Soulhuntre is a product of several gods. Their names
\n are "talent", "apathy", "sloth", "anger",
\n "pride"and "greed". These traits have combined to create
\n the kind of person who is poor, yet refuses to take a job because he hates having
\n to kiss someone else’s ass. So he has been self employed pretty much for his
\n whole adult life and likes it. Others call him a "bum" but he calls
\n himself an "Entrepreneur".<\/p>\n

Since I am an Internet
\n Entrepreneur<\/a> that means I am in front of my machine something like 19 hours
\n a day begging strangers for money**. I write code, chat, trade an enormous amount of e-mail – but the most
\n important thing I do is ‘graze’ the web. This is not just surfing for amusement,
\n though that is part of it, but it is a crucial aspect of what I do for a living
\n and how I do it.<\/p>\n

Grazing is how I fill up on the thousands of little details I need to be able
\n to make decisions for clients and my own company… a
Slashdot<\/a>
\n article here, a post on the
Linux<\/a>
\n "
Kernel
\n Traffic<\/a>" developers list there and a lot of surfing the
Microsoft
\n Knowledge Base<\/a> on the side. These things add up to give me a feeling for
\n industry trends and technology issues. <\/p>\n

I can’t even count how many times I have been able to solve a problem for a
\n client or suggest just the right software because of something I heard, saw,
\n or read on the ‘net the day before.<\/p>\n

In any case, I spend a lot for time surfing – and I can pretend it’s business.<\/p>\n

Along the way I come across lots<\/i><\/b> of stuff that is silly, scary,
\n odd or just plain funny. I see designs that are good and bad, I see
meat
\n rotting<\/a> and guys spitting out
bad
\n candy<\/a>. On a good day I see a lot of
Britney
\n Spears<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of this went onto my mailing list, and they liked it I think. It’s just
\n that now I have a craving to share with you – my larger audience. There are
\n 11 people on my mailing list*** and there might be as many as 20 people who read
\n my webpage!<\/p>\n

I give you "weblint<\/a>".
\n You may love me now.<\/p>\n

* members of that list will still get the super cool secret stuff
\n** Ask me for an executive summary! We need 18 million dollars total or a 90K bridge loan \ud83d\ude42
\n *** no, I won’t tell you the name, and no, you probably can’t join. That’s why
\n I put up
