I love the weird one-off internet: those tiny little fan projects made by someone with a true passion and something in their mind that’s probably hard to pronounce.

Any fun corners of the internet out there still beyond social media? Or do you build anything yourself?

    Not something I’ve built, but I was reviewing my bookmarks the other day and I found this site that I don’t even know how I found to begin with: http://geacron.com/home-en/

    It’s an interactive world history atlas, where you can set the year and see what territories/nations existed or were like in the past. I’m not sure how accurate the maps are, especially as you go back further in history, but it’s still fun to get a rough idea of where different groups of people were.

      I was wondering what the axes were…

      The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

      Click anything to hear an example of what it sounds like.

      Really cool.
