The web is still alive.
Weird. Wonderful. Here's proof.
A single URL in your inbox, Monday through Friday.
Not tools. Not tips. Not optimization.

WTF Happened in 2012?
This site charts how the world changed drastically after 2012. It pinpoints 2012 as a turning point where social trends started shifting hard.
STATS
What's New?
25 projects in 25 weeks.
Over the next 25 weeks. I'll build, ship, and market one new project or URL a week.
Some will be funny, some will be wacky, some will be thought-provoking.
WHAT THIS IS
Every weekday, I send one link.
No lists. No hot takes. Just one URL worth seeing.
I present websites with minimal framing and let you decide what they mean. Sometimes I'll add a brief note when something stands out, but the conclusions are yours.
Along the way, it entertains, surprises, and points to corners of the internet that are still alive.
Sometimes it's old. Sometimes it's obscure. Sometimes it's something I made myself.
YOUR INTERNET ARCHAEOLOGIST
I'm Steven Irby. Software engineer and longtime internet builder.
I've been online since the 1990s. Long enough to watch entire corners of the web appear, peak, and disappear. A lot of what I find isn't on the first page of any search engine. It's buried under layers of SEO, paywalls, and platforms that flattened the open web.
The interesting stuff is still out there. Personal sites, experiments, things people made because they felt like it. Sometimes even something mainstream that deserves a second look.
I dig it up and send it to you.
Human curated. No AI. No BS.
YOU'LL PROBABLY LIKE THIS IF
- You miss when websites felt like someone made them.
- You don't need to be told what to think.
- You're fine with things that don't have a point.
YOU PROBABLY WON'T LIKE THIS IF
- You want tips, tools, or actionable takeaways.
- You're trying to optimize something.
- You need every email to justify its existence.
THE DEAL
One link.
Five days a week.
Minimal commentary.
You do the thinking.
