Welcome To Surf Man Website Directory!

All content is human curated with AI enhancement.

Brand new website under construction with some publications available soon.

Remember those HUGE website directory books from the early 2000’s? Surf Man is aiming to bring something similar in PDF format to the modern internet for avid web surfers.

This directory will be based off of social media listings found on Facebook, and other social networks, plus web curated listings.

Listings are currently being collected, and work to build this website will begin soon.

New publications to come soon include X and Google Search Trends, and more.

2026-04-17-FRI-18:05-CST – ABOUT PERPLEXITY AI – The more I use Perplexity, the more I appreciate how it will “set you straight” when you’re asking off the wall questions like you think you know the outcome and it perceives you’re not as smart as you think you are. “But to answer the question the way you phrased it.”

2026-04-09-THU-01:32-CST – NEW TRENDS 2026 PAGE – A new Trends 2026 page is now available. This page will be used for listing all of the trending topics and hashtags posts available on the blog for 2026.

2026-04-05-SUN-20:15-CST – NEW COLLECTIONS PAGE – My new Collections page is on site. I’m going to start posting some personal blog posts about some of the things I like to collect. This page will serve as the hub page for those blog posts.

2026-03-27-FRI-23:10-CST – DISCOVERED EXPORTIFY – Tonight I was interested to find out if there was a way to export a list of song tracks in a Spotify playlist. I searched Google for how to get a text list of songs in a spotify playlist. After checking out a few links in the search results, I decided to try out Exportify.net. Exportify allows you to export a playlist to a csv file. The csv file will contain information such as Artist Names, Track Name, Album Name, Release Date, Genre, and even record labels, plus a lot of other information. Once you have a csv file, you can move the columns of information around in the order you want, then highlight the columns of information you want in your text list, then copy and paste into a text editor such as Windows Notepad. From there you can do any additional editing to your list as needed. I’m really happy to find Exportify, and I will be looking for large playlists on Spotify so that I can create music lists for the Surf Man Website Directory.

2026-03-26-SUN-23:46-CST – LOTS OF SHOPPING CURRENTLY – I really don’t want to (yes I do lol – but no I don’t – whatever), but I have a lot of shopping going on currently. As I’m sure I mentioned somewhere, I recently moved, and there are things I both need and want. I have ideas for how I want my apartment to look over the course of the new lease I’m about to sign, and therefore I need to buy some things. I recently bought a new round area rug for my round dining table and chairs in the kitchen, a wreath and doormat for the front door, and I’ve started having some groceries delivered. Yesterday I ordered a new 18 foot runner rug for the hallway. Today I ordered two tablecloths for my kitchen table, and two clippers and trimmer sets. I’ve been shaving with a dog hair trimmer lol. Don’t judge me. It works.

2026-03-14-SAT-19:39-CST – I NEED NEW CDS – Ok I don’t really need new cds, but I want some. Tonight I got on a Greatest Hits CD binge. I want to start collecting Greatest Hits cds from favorite music artists that I don’t currently own. I went to Amazon and browsed around a bit. I’ve got 3 I’m looking at to order soon maybe. These selections are (don’t judge me lol – I don’t care if you do anyway) Jo Dee Messina Greatest Hits, Michael Jackson Number Ones, and Culture Club Greatest Hits. What got me into wanting to collect these greatest hits cds is that Jo Dee Messina has a new song out called Some Bridges, and I really love the song. I am making it my theme song for 2026. I think it sends a very powerful message that sometimes it’s ok to burn bridges. I also love her older music, and so I thought I would go on Amazon to see if she had a greatest hits cd, and I saw that she did. Then I started browsing around for other greatest hits cds, and you know how things go from there. I’m going to try and use my brain though before I go spending bundles of cash on these. I have a premium Spotify account. So I’m going to listen to whatever cd I’m considering to buy on Spotify first to make sure I want it. Also I’m aiming at only buying cds that come with the free AutoRip MP3 files that Amazon offers with select albums.

2026-03-14-SAT-18:49-CST – KICKING OFF UPDATES AT SURF MAN – Damn I’m slow to get things started sometimes lol. Actually I’ve just been really busy working on all kinds of things, and I just forgot to start updating this website. Well this evening I figured now is as good a time as any to put the pedal to the floor and get the wheels rolling on turning this website into the platform it’s intended for. So here we go.

Announcements:

  • Anna’s Archive is having some tough time with some of it’s domains being taken down. Now is more imperative than ever to get over there and download whatever pdf and epub books you may want. Currently I know that annas-archive.li is working. Please send them a donation to help keep this extremely valuable shadow library online. Refer to Google, Grokipedia, and Wikipedia for more information about Anna’s Archive. Also on my personal website is an extensive Anna’s Archive Search Index I made for use in searching for books at Anna’s Archive. I created it to be used as a guide for some interesting things you could look for and find some OOP (out of print) books. Be aware that the links on that page do not work since Anna’s Archives .org domain was taken down, which is where all of the links on that page pointed to when I built the listings. When time permits, I will be moving that page to this website with the links removed, and search terms available for use as manual text search suggestions. – 2025-01-19-MON-07:29-CST.

Currently In Progress:

2026-05-15-FRI-03:12-CST – This website is growing. Weekly (formerly daily) trends lists are being published to the blog. Ebooks and zines are on the way. Some site layout restructuring is in order. Some sections of the sidebar will be moved to somewhere in the lower layout region when time permits.

Editor’s Status:

2026-05-04-MON-11:39-CST – SITE BUILDING – Been awhile since I’ve updated my status. Ooops. Since the last status update, I’ve accomplished a lot of site building here at Surf Man, and moved into a new apartment that I am enjoying to stay in. This week I’m working on swapping out my laptop at my home office desk for a more powerful one I’ve had in storage. Also more site building is coming.

2026-01-21-WED-09:36-CST – HAPPY HUMP DAY!! – All it took was one short video on Facebook this morning to put me in the mood for listening to some Adam Lambert remixes on Youtube. I got some groceries this morning to get through the rest of this week and upcoming weekend. Just totally random, I bought a new folding chair to replace a sitting chair I acquired a couple of years ago. I like the chair that I had, but I need to make a downgrade to something that is more compact and easier to move when needed.

Closely Watching:

Some things I discovered that I think deserve prolonged attention.

QWERTY PHONES – It’s looking like 2026 is going to be the year that relaunches qwerty keyboard style phones back into the mainstream with devices like the new upcoming Clicks Communicator and Unihertz Titan 2 Elite. I’m a little excited about it. I kind of want one. I’m debating about ordering a Clicks Communicator, but I really like the looks of the Titan 2 Elite. Get the latest news on Youtube for Clicks Communicator, and the Titan 2 Elite.

You are not a failure. Sometimes things just take time. This includes figuring out what we want and need in our lives. Some people need more time to get to know themselves than others do. Take the time you need. It is your time.

Social Media:

Caution: My social media pages tend to be NSFW. Because I’m a grown-ass man paying grown-ass money to post what I want, and what they allow.

Link rot is a real thing. It always has been since the early days of the internet. If you see something you will need or want to access later, you better save a personal copy of it for yourself. Otherwise the loss is on you when that resource is no longer available online.

I will add the rest of my social links soon.
