Public Domains, Japanese Web Design & Digital Gardens

public_domains

public_domains searches through a text (such as a novel like Moby Dick) and looks for possible host names to use.

Includes an option to check if the domain is available.

Some lovely examples, culled from The Waste Land:

  1. fiddled.whisper.music
  2. copper.burned.green
  3. little.patience.here

the peculiar case of japanese web design

Sabrina Cruz on the ways Japanese web design differs from the rest of the world, and the reasons behind it.

Maggie Appleton on Digital Gardening

A garden is a collection of evolving ideas that aren’t strictly organised by their publication date. They’re inherently exploratory – notes are linked through contextual associations. They aren’t refined or complete - notes are published as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time. They’re less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal websites we’re used to seeing.
