People speak of the Internet as if it were a place. It certainly is filled with stuff, and you can't put something nowhere, so, logically you must be SOMEWHERE.
A fun project would be to create a map of the entire Internet, where you could eventually drill down to each file on every server on the planet. Google probably has a big enough database to undertake this project, perhaps they'll get around to it one day after they get their Boeing 767 corporate jet finished. Perhaps they'll call it GoogleSphere! (Remember, you saw it here first).
Anyway, I'm not Google, and I can't show you a map of the entire Internet, but I can show you a graph of Sweet and Sour Spectator as of this very instant (I trust you have noticed it by now; you can click on it for a bigger version if you are so inclined).
This complete map of all the links on this site certainly proves something, though at the moment, I don't have the time to explain exactly what it is.
If you want to map your own website, or Googl'e website, the very cool tool is here at Websites as Graphs.
Postscript: this blog now contains about 65,000 words, enough for a novella, but only about one-third of a novel. I really think writing a novel is impossible and those that can do so, must be from a superior alien race (double that for people who can write a symphony!!)
