Raison d’être

Most of the internet has surrendered to commercial marketing and algorithmic “content.” The vestiges of the old, weird web are rapidly fading.

This page aims to preserve and potentially revive the art of the Open Web through linking. It’s a collection of links to things I think are worth sharing. The page is a work in progress and a labor of love. Enjoy!
