Another Sunday, Another Naive Weekly — Observations From The Internet Wilderness.
Good morning,
Many moons ago, I promised never to mention the Hidden Random Link again. It was supposed to be a secret among a selected few readers and then fade from our collective memory.
I’m breaking this promise today because I want to announce that I will dedicate the link to small web games. So if you don’t like browser games, there is no reason for you to continue to click on the Hidden Random Link.
That’s all.
With care,
Kristoffer
ROADSIDE FLOWERS

Gentle Brain is how I feel after a day with video calls.
FIELD NOTES
Robin Sloan: Describing the Emotions of Life Online
Phenomenal interview with writer and web-explorer Robin Sloan. Robin talks about care and emotions on the web, and he paints pictures with maps and molting nature, so right down my alley. Robin is well-articulated, and his sentiments resonate strongly with mine.
Awards
What website awards do you aspire to win? After visiting lulu’s home in cyberspace and learning about The Magick's Cozy Site Award and The Groovy Site Award, I would be honoured to be rewarded one of them. And I am considering how a Naive Weekly Award could work.
PROMPT
The people behind the wonderful Alt-Text as Poetry project are collecting Alt-Text Selfies for a small book and a small online archive. Submissions are due April 13th.
