Another Sunday, Another Naive Weekly — Observations From The Internet Wilderness.
Sunday, May 29, 2022.

Good morning,

We are back home — and it is fantastic. In front of our house, the lilac is blooming with rich snow-white flowers, and everywhere I look, trees and plants are dressed in calming lush greens. Thanks to everyone who greeted us with open arms during our one month in Greece, I’m confident we’ll return soon. But first, I’m here for June.

With care,

Kristoffer

FIELD NOTES

New_ Public’s Newsletter

Whenever possible, I follow organizations by subscribing to their newsletters. I cherish the intimacy and commitment to perspectives that a good newsletter offers, so it is always with disappointment when I click unsubscribe after a few editions. For some reason, institutional newsletters feel like an after-thought. Fortunately, New_ Public’s newsletter is different from the majority, offering quality writing about digital public spaces. In particular, I enjoyed the interview with Deepti Doshi and the profile of Metafilter.

Intro to the Web Revival

Melon's series of blog posts introduces Web Revival, a loosely connected movement of people making websites in the spirit of the early web, and work as a simple guide to making your own website using HTML and CSS. Whether you are already a webmaster or have no intentions of becoming one, I recommend you surf the links provided throughout the three posts. There are many of my favorites, such as status.cafe.

In Search of the Least Viewed Article on Wikipedia

I’m including this article as a sheer appreciation for the depth of the internet. In the blog post, Colin Morris sets out to discover the least popular Wikipedia articles and, in the process, reveals obscure pages and uncovers the mechanics of the Wikipedia random button.
