Good Saturday morning, subscribers! This update of random things is a day late because despite things starting off at a more manageable rate this week, it sure ended with a bang that completely derailed my Friday afternoon plans. But, enough about that, it’s the weekend.

One of my all-time favorite meme-gif thingies. (I say it "jif" which I think is wrong but I say ig anyway because of years of saying it that way before I knew it was wrong. Blame college.)

Today I am sharing with you three of the link curators that I follow.

  1. Matt Webb’s Web Curios is published every Friday. From what I can tell about the length, diversity, and novelty of this set Matt must spend about 18 hours a day scanning the internet to find this stuff. Each items comes with a lengthy discursive commentary which is interesting. He doesn’t always come right out and say what the link is though.
  2. Messy Nessy’s weekly 13 Things I found on the internet is another (usually) weekly email with a collection of interesting things in the world. As usual, I often have no idea where these things come from. We’re all just experiencing such different silos of the internet; this evidence suggests that the forums and searches and communities we each participate in are idiosyncratic and as differently shaped as all the people in the world. Stands to reason.
  3. Assaf Arkin’s Weekend Reading is a more tech oriented one than the previous, and a new entrant to my sources, yet still more diverse than the even more tech oriented options that I have entertained. It feels more fresh to me.

Some of the others that I have followed or still do: Austin Kleon, Naive Weekly, Dense Discovery, Weekly Filet, Things that I think are awesome, Curious about Everything, and Quantum of Sollazzo.

Have a great weekend!

Seen this week.
