Welp… I missed last month’s cool things roundup. It’s been so busy. With the world seemingly falling apart, but not ever being able to slow down and stop, sometimes you’re feeling like you’re watching Rome burn… Can’t really do much about it but you’re still a villager having to plow your little field or else your family isn’t going to eat come fall. I also wrote that huge article about AI last month that went viral so I figured the cool things could wait.
Anyway, I missed last month, but I figured that was okay, because I can just add twice as many cool things in this month’s edition. Let’s go!
Tiny Awards are open for voting
The Tiny Awards are very small (it’s two people I think!) group of people who are dedicated to recognizing and awarding some of the best, weirdest, and unique websites out there. And you know I love unique and weird websites. Very web 1.0. So, you can vote on some of your favorites. I’ve highlighted a couple that made it on the shortlist this year (like Internet Roadtrip), but let’s look at some of the others on the list:
- 50,000 Names – Highlighting the individual lives lost in the Palestinian crisis
- Traffic Cam Photobooth – Take selfies with surveillance. You can only use this one on mobile!
- Cloud Gazing – Draw over photos of clouds and show the world what you see
“Your Idol” Metal Cover
KPop Demon Hunters have taken the world by storm… You’re probably sick of hearing about it by now. But I found this metal cover of “Your Idol” and I’m in love with it (you should be too). P.S. KPDH is very likely to be coming back given it hit number 1 on Netflix as the all time most viewed english language movie!
Back in the day…
This cheek animator has all kinds of shorts just like this one over on his YouTube.
URL Lengthener
You’ve heard of URL shorteners. Well, the existence of a shortener must mean there’s also a lengthener, right? Yep, there is. Hilarious. Can’t wait to send a URL via SMS that splits up into 20 messages.
