Sunday Serendipity
The weather outside is frightful, but I want to avoid the usual internet distractions.
A while ago I signed up for the Vmail newsletter. This is from VOLE.wtf and seems to be put together from stuff submitted by anyone!
One of the items was Wilderness Land a map of links generated from a google spreadsheet which leads to many rabbit hole sites.
Here are a few:
- Radio Garden a globe full of radio stations from around the world.
- Library of Colors Another site for serendipity, arranged around colour words from page titles.
- Pasta Guide Nice an simple site, lots of information without adverts and other distractions.
- corpora/data/words at master · dariusk/corpora found via the Library of Colors, lotf of useful looking lists of words.
- 🛰️ See A Satellite Tonight, probably not tonight here given the weather we are having.

Another favourite source of daily serendipity is the dailywebthing daily pointers.

Interesting read on where good ideas come from #serendipity #creativity
