Shortlist #9 – Weird internet corners

Ten more things today. Mostly weird corners of the internet I’ve been enjoying.

deep cutWhile researching “universal philosophers” I ran across this excellent post, which features this excellent album by Urban Tribe / DJ Stingray. Great soundtrack for working.

morning puzzleRaddle is a clever word game that’s become part of my morning puzzle routine (alongside Bracket City).

useless funButton Stealer is a “fun, useless, and free” Chrome extension. Honestly pretty fun.

the dudeJeff Bridges’ website is amazing. Gotta say this one wasn’t on my internet bingo card.

industrialStandard Equipment makes outstanding industrial “tools for non-standard living”.

satireThe Onion’s “interview” with Ms. Rachel is a must-read for parents. Ifykyk.

folkloreA delightful little story about magic.

climateReally appreciated danah boyd’s article, “Five attitudes towards climate change (and the impact on our society)”. What a mess.

hyperUm, this website is insane: hypertext.tv.

dumb phoneThe Tinypod seems like the “dumb” phone everyone needs, and also maybe a great option for older kids who crave connectivity (no Instagram on the Watch, etc.).
