You may be pondering, "I, Eric, feel an emotion but don't know how to convey it." Do I have the Web site for you!

http://emotioneric.com/

Eric Conveys an Emotion brings you all your emotion-conveying needs, from surprised (good) to surprised (bad)! Who can forget "just realized you bought the wrong fabric softener"! And we can all relate to "Shouldn't have eaten a whole bag of Wow! Doritos"!

Hello from retro.social, where we live in the 19A0s - the alternative era where the Web has no silos, Gopher never died, screens glow orange-on-black, and radio is run by hams. Be sure to watch for #weirdWebWednesday !

Yay it's #weirdWebWednesday!

Today be sure to play through the interactive fiction games based on They Might Be Giant's "Apollo 18" album!

Note that "Fingertips" is split into 20 games, each winnable in exactly one move. Of course.

My favorite is "Everything is Catching on Fire".

Speaking of #weirdwebwednesday I'm sad to see so much of what used to be self hosted weird websites moving to Wikia among other silos.

This is a really neat project: http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Hampered by the fact that all wikia sites look essentially the same, and are plastered with ads.

I've been informed that it's #weirdWebWednesday and that's a hashtag I can get behind in a big way.

This is a pro-capitalist, piece of anti-soviet propaganda funded by the biggest oil lobby in the US.

It's funny, and scary, and sad, and weird.

                     

Hooray it's #weirdWebWednesday!

Today a shoutout to http://osi74.com/ for bringing crowdfunded #retrofuturism straight to our computing devices. "We want you to be nostalgic about the future again," they say.

Shows include one hosted by Reverend Ivan Stang, showing us how to do #Slack just right.

Happy #weirdWebWednesday!
