Forgot all about Dogpile! A search engine that ran your query through multiple search engines to increase your chances of finding stuff. Used it quite a bit before Google took over.
Most of the old search sites are still there, but not what they seem. Altavista.com is owned by Yahoo and returns the same results as Yahoo does, which itself is powered by Bing. Netscape.com = AOL.com, etc.

Never saw Lawnmower Man - was too young when it came out - but wow it looks pretty insane. I saw a clip last night as part of a Rifftrax 90's Internet thing (that also included 4-5 minutes each of Hackers and The Net) and there was a part where his mouth turns into a lawnmower which he uses to eat a brain, and it's all done in glorious early cartoony CGI. Also I LOL'd when the riffers said it looked like he was being sucked into a Trapper Keeper.

i totally forgot what the internet used to be like. wasn't much on the web so most time was spent on IRC, messageboards, and usenet. i feel like the internet now is turning my brain into mush and making me into even more of a dumbass. reddit, gawker, huffington post, buzzfeed, it's all so fucking stupid, yet seems totally normal now. i think i need to take an internet hiatus so my brain can recover.
