To kick things off, Google's font is called "Catull." I found it using the following Google query: Catull filetype:ttf http://bit.ly/gMLdKp

I'm pretty darn proud of the logo, too. I forgot how to do background gradients and all, so I spent about 2 hours on it, relearning PS. lol.

Google Hack: [1/2] Looking for a font? Try searching for its name followed by filetype:ttf -- Ex: Catull filetype:ttf http://bit.ly/gMLdKp

Google Hack: [2/2] If the font name contains multiple words, place them in quotes. Ex: "Times New Roman" filetype:ttf http://bit.ly/i5WyaZ

Bing Hack: To see sites hosted on the same IP, use the ip: operator followed by the IP. Ex: ip:174.120.23.251 http://bit.ly/ehAadM #SEO

1/2: P2P is old news. Using Google to find (what should be private) directories on clueless people's Web sites is where it's at now. ;)

2/2: Example (to find music you already own (of course), but don't have nearby): Pantera intitle:index.of inurl:Music http://bit.ly/fr3J58

Just replace "Pantera" with a band of your choice. That query can be WAY refined, but it's a great start if you've not seen one like it b4!

From that query, look for this link: www.40calgames.com/music/ <-- Can you believe all the music there!? They're totally clueless... =\

Did You Know [1/2]: It can take less than a day for something to leak via P2P and end up on someone's Web server and indexed in Google.

Did You Know [2/2]: That means, depending on what you're searching for, that a free, ultra-fast HTTP d/l could very well be awaiting you.
