This page is going to have random links and stuff I think is cool, and want to share, but I don't think need a whole post about them.
Random Links
- Anna's Archive- "The largest truly open library in human history"
- Centennial Light Bulb - Longest burning light in the US I think? It's in a firehouse and has a webcam you can keep an eye on it.
- Cohost Eggubug Emoji Pack
- Ian's Shoelace Site- This is one of the first sites I was introduced to on Cohost as an example of "Old internet" sites if I remember correctly. Just someone making a site about their passions.
- Lightning Maps- See where Lightning has struck
- Standard eBooks- "Free and liberated ebooks, carefully produced for the true book lover"
- TV Fool-A place to see over the air TV signals in your area. Good if you're trying to put up an antannae.
- Website League - a group of people from Cohost trying to create something separate from the Fediverse, but acts similarly except guided by Cohosts principles. They explain it on their site but basically: Mastodon or Bluesky but with Cohost guiding principles
Other People's Websites
These are either going to be people I've found on social media whose sites I follow, or just sites I think are neat!
- Cohost Union News- No longer on Cohost, but a page dedicated to Union News!
- Ian's Blog- Also from Cohost. Tech stuff.
- Margot from Cohost's Blog - Their post from 9/10/24 is actually what inspired me to make this page
- Mat Sissersson's Site- He's a developer and this website is his showcase
- Noel B Ko-fi-Another from Cohost. They're really into writing, and with Cohost shutting down still figuring out where they'll go.
- Sonickitsune's Blog -Also from Cohost. More tech stuff
Website Buttons
If you don't know, Website Buttons are sort of a fun way to link to other websites you like. From what I've seen they're often in the 88x31 pixel format.
