In my personal life, I don't do anything on the Internet either, other than looking at some programming websites, this place, and slashdot.

In my work life, I only use the Internet to find parts that we need to buy in order to fill our contract requirements, those would be websites like digikey, mauser, jameco, and machine shops. Ordinarily, if I need to prototype a machined part, I make it myself. Then if I need a bunch of them I purchase req it out to any one of a dozen local machine shops, who all do a very fine job.

On my website, which maybe only 15 other people in the world ever look at (other than people trying to crash Apache thinking they can gain root access to the box), I've never used an html generator, I've written all the html myself by hand, and I don't use any of that google crap. I look at the page source of commercial websites today, and I think, what the hell is all this shit? For the love of all that's good any holy, do you really need a couple dozen javascript apps just to display a webpage?
