🔥Link Invasion - V7🔥
Crank up the tunes
Hey friends!
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Land of Random.
We traveled to see family in Arkansas this weekend - soooo I decided to do a quick link invasion instead of my normal newsletter.
The wifi can be a little spotty, so I didn’t want to risk being 60 tabs deep in some topic and dealing with internet speed issues.
For those of you interested in our garden endeavors - it’s growing like gangbusters! Everything is happy and growing well. Our raspberry and blackberry bushes have A TON of fruit growing!
Also - meet this wonderful Salamander. We have three living in our backyard!
What should I name this noble creature?
I was thinking Godzilla . . .
On a random sidenote - have noticed that the “dumbphone” movement seems to be getting some real legs these days? It feels like I see a new article out about them every week or so.
I REALLY wish I started a website like dumbwireless a few years ago.
ALSO - of all the AI wearables that have been gracing our eyes and ears - the proposed Facebook earbuds with cameras seem like they make the most sense.
The Nothing AI earbuds, but with more senses haha.
Let’s hop in shall we?
🎶Crazy Lofi Genres
Is it just me - or has Lofi blossomed into this all consuming genre?
Type “insert keyword here” lofi and you get just about everything.

The ancient Halo tv show is gone. Kaput. Over.
Beautiful Ugly Sites
An interesting article about the beauty of ugly sites like Hacker News or Craigslist.
My Retro TV’s
Watch random videos and shows from the 50’s, 60’s . . . all the way to the 2000’s! It’s a really cool website to have on in the background. Make sure you click on the TV buttons to change channels and such.
The Mother ******* Website
Yes. You are correct in what you just inferred what was behind those asterisks. This website claims to be the perfect [expletive] website, and better yet it’s spawned clones. If you don’t mind a LOT of language - these sites are hilarious. Each website is a play on just how overcomplicated the web is these days.
Pocket Worlds
Have you seen those little bookshelf cities that fit on your bookshelf? Back this project (and well it’s Kickstarter so hopefully) and print your own!

The coolest old fashioned keyboard to grace this site of the ocean Mateys! (Pass the Rum)

The Sadgirl.online Internet Manifesto
a interesting lil’ manifesto dreaming about the old days of the internet, and how to return to the good old days!
Friday Night Funkin’
This rhythm internet game made the rounds a few years ago on Youtube and TikTok. I never looked into the game - and had no idea it was free! If you want to warm up your old rhythm game reflexes - give this a spin!
Create Your Own Trello

Hello Dot
Mixed reality apps are getting wild. I wonder if one of these will be VR’s killer app?

This would be fun to hide wayyy up in the kitchen where no one can see. hehehehe.
Vcard + RSS
A REALLY interesting idea for embedding RSS feed links in contact vcards. Get a person’s info AND follow them - all in one file. NEAT
Master Chief VS Thomas
I can’t just leave you without an unhinged video can I? Here’s another if you want it.
That’s all for this week! Unless you want to muse about something interesting.
