How I found out about Ycombinator and PG

I know hundreds of you knew about Ycombinator from the moment he announced the program. I never heard of PG of Viaweb before. I think it is partly due to the fact that i am not a hacker and i only got involve in the startup environment starting the end of 2004. Anyways to make long scripts short here is how i found out about YCombinator, PG and what lead me to the most useful News site Hacker News. I read this article one early morning while at work and that was it. I was hooked.
