Unfortunately, the web hasn’t given me rock-hard abs.
I’ve been looking for a song called “Par Avion” by Mike & the Mechanics. I fell in love with it when it played on an episode of “Miami Vice” as background music. It’s not on iTunes, and I can only find it on YouTube as part of various slash videos. (Now don’t get me wrong, I love slash as much as the next girl, but I just want to listen to the damn song, not watch Starsky mooning over Hutch.) Currently I’m trying Limewire, but all I seem to find are corrupted files.
(couple of minutes later) Never mind, I found it! Yay!)
We have this in the UK. I love it. You just put in your post code, it tells you who will deliver and who is currently open. And then you can order online. The website is www.justeat.co.uk.
I can’t find a translation for the Voynich Manuscript anywhere.
Two words: online dating.
I don’t know quite how to put this, but the whole concept has sort of let me down. It’s the holistic relational structure I was disappointed in.
I expected it to be much more organized-kind of like the map of the Tube in London. Want porn? Here’s the Blue Line. Domestic issues? (cleaning, shopping, mortgages etc) the Green Line. Romance/ dating services? --the Red Line. Kids/schools/parental issues the yellow line etc.
Don’t ask me what the “lines” are-but that’s how I saw it in my head prior to being online. the .com or.org or .edu help some, but not much, really for the end user.
I want to find a site where you can enter a sentence and it will translate it for you into a lot of different languages at once. Every translation site I’ve seen only lets you do one pair at a time. Technically, it would be trivial to implement but I haven’t seen it done.
I have never found a concise listing of Winterland concerts.
Or, for that matter, any kind of venue-centric database for rock concerts.
Historical election statistics as produced by the electoral authorities of a given state.
Some states have data going back for decades, but the vast majority tend to end at around the time the state in question started keeping online statistics.
I can’t find Nielson TV ratings beyond the Top 20 shows. Contrary to earlier promises, information does not want to be free.
Oh, and I always wanted to see the “Q” ratings of celebrity popularity, but no dice.
I want to be able to click on a map at various points (intersections and junctions) and then get a chart that shows mileage, speed limits, and estimated travel time for each part of the route I chose.
I can’t find the Sanskrit script for ‘‘egolessness’’ (anatman) anywhere on the internet. That might seem like a trivial complaint, but egolessness is one of Three Marks of Existence in Buddhist philosophy. This is roughly akin to not being able to find the Hebrew word for ‘‘sacrifice.’’ I have been searching for 2 years now. Wikipedia finally got around to posting ‘‘suffering’’ (dukkha) so I am 2/3 of the way to finishing my kick-ass tattoo. This isn’t some trivial bullshit, I don’t know why the internet is failing me. I’d almost be better off teaching myself Sanskrit. But the internet unsurprisingly has a paucity of resources there too.
Have you tried a library?
Yeah really. Even better, you can find the script in the library, draw it and post it on Wikipedia for everyone to have.

Do you want the actual songs, or a list?
Just a list.
