This Saturday, come to No Quarter to play brand new game, THIS MUST BE THE FACE by me & @okremiok.bsky.social

Compete in a head to head to head to head battle of expressivity. Will they understand you're in love or will they think you just ate a weird egg?

i used millions of files from @archive.org to make a website where you can watch how the internet evolved

scroll through home videos and news stories, unedited selfies and collaged memes, all merged in one timeline

i have decided white is too clean for the brand vibe - we must go with texture & contrast. beauty in the imperfection

ok the mobile view is kinda cool too.. it kinda feels like tiktok but you are traveling through the content from the history of the internet which somehow makes me feel more reverent towards it?

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages.

ok what are the odds we can co-opt AI into meaning "alive internet" rather than "artificial intelligence"

sharing a screenshot from the other app only because there are still a few people thinking whimsically about the web there!

what do yall think? what other kinds of communal interactions could we have on the web that make it feel alive & inhabited?

The past few years have been extremely challenging & my heart always feels heavy. @aphid.org constantly reminds me to find as many pockets of joy. Loving this gorgeous sculpture made by @spencer.place that sits at an altar space in our home. When I need a pick-me-up, I seek a fortune from it.
