7 Links Shared with Me

My web browser has a Shared with You section that features the most recent links sent to me by friends and family. Sanna thought that maybe these links tell us something about… something? She wrote a blog post collecting the links recently sent to her.

I love that idea, so without further ado, here are seven links recently shared with me.

  1. The brilliant human who inspired this post surprised me with the fact that 2 Player Productions and Double Fine surprised everyone by releasing episode 33 of PsychOdyssey. What a treat! We watched it the same night.
  2. A Boba Fett action figure sold for $525,000, as reported by my friend Hampus.
  3. My brother-in-law recently ended up in a man-on-the-street interview with a local radio show. It was about how he couldn’t make a purchase due to an IT incident, but he was happy all the same because the store bribed him with free fika. Shared, of course, by my sister.
  4. Do you believe in ghosts? My niece Ines linked to this YouTube video of some dudes overnighting in a haunted house. The catch? It’s the house where Sanna and I took our families to celebrate our wedding. 😅 Apparently, the highest level of spectral phenomena was in the room and bed where we slept. 👻
  5. It’s funny how there are specific themes to the link sharing with the various people in my life. The thread between my cuz Stefan and myself is all about hardware and games. He bought a new keyboard.
  6. The ongoing conversation with my brother often touches on the economy and investments. He shared this breakdown of the Golden Butterfly Portfolio a while back.
  7. But no one sends me more links than Sanna, so it’s only fitting that her links appear twice in this list and get to round it off. Thank Goodness You’re Here!

That’s it. I showed you mine, and now I look forward to finding out what was recently shared with you.

PS. The most recent link I sent away was about the Olympic silver medalist sponsored by Parmesan cheese. 🧀

Till frukostkaffet idag passade vi på skriva och skicka iväg ett nyhetsbrev med boktips. Så här börjar det:

Två nätter i rad har det bäddats ute på altanen. Vi har krupit ner under täckena, tittat på vampyrfilm och avrundat med varsin ljudbok – I Was a Teenage Slasher och Moonbound. Det har varit äkta sommarlovsmys. En fladdermus fladdrade i trädkronorna och ett rådjur skällde i skumrasket.

Fortsättningen finns på webben och om du gillar’t ska du förstås börja prenumerera. 📚

My view right now: we’re sleeping under the stars tonight. 🤩 Or at least that’s the goal. We’ll see if we make it through.

Tucked under cozy blankets, gazing at a tranquil evening sky over red cabins and trees.

My view right now: if you squint your eyes, you might spot a sailboat traveling along Göta kanal. ⛵️

We made ice cream! Again. This time with lemon curd. 🍋

Marbled ice cream with swirls of lemon curd. It looks delicious, though it has a slightly made-by-a-child appearance.

Me too! ❇️

,,,, oh I am only going to refer to it as "hittamul" from now on

A printed quote: HTML is pronounced by saying each letter. Don't say hittamul.

I recently watched Perfect Blue, and it really tickled my soft spot for retro computers and early web surfing in anime. 💙

In a cozy living space, Rumi helps Mima set up her new Macintosh Performa. Sitting on her bed, Mima claps her hands with a joyful expression.

This is lovely. 😍 Open and Shut allows you to produce Morse code by repeatedly slamming your laptop shut. (via B3ta)

A hand repeatedly opens and closes a laptop lid to produce Morse code. Brief glimpses of the open word processor reveal it eventually spells out SPICY.

It rarely happens, but right now, I wish I lived closer to Stockholm. HTML freewriting in Vitabergsparken this Saturday sounds absolutely wonderful. ❇️

What should I bring?
Yourself, something to write HTML on, friends, and your energy

I just updated my now page with the books I’m into, hobby projects I’m considering, and recent adventures. 👀

Yes! 💯 Your tools should work for you. Don’t feed your scissors! Chris, on today’s ShopTalk Show 36 minutes in

You know, I basically got this from Alex, who I work with, who feels this way about tools and brings it up, or at least has many times, is that like tools are for you.

Like you use this tool so the tool can help you. Like I use scissors so I can cut through a piece of paper, but if I woke up and my scissors were like, feed me, I’d be like, no, you’re a weird scissors.

Unfortunately, there are still a few accounts on X that I want to keep up with, like @ZeldaOfficialJP. Just a reminder: you can follow X (formerly Twitter) accounts via RSS.

The feed reader Feedbin, with five unread posts in the highlighted video games category. A preview of a post from the Japanese Zelda account is shown, featuring a chibi Zelda holding the mystical Tri Staff.

A The Legend of Zelda game where you actually get to play as Zelda, in what looks like a puzzle adventure? 🥰 Yes!!1! I’m going to bed now, wake me up in September.

I’ve shared a couple of glimpses of our trip to the island already, but Sanna collected a bunch of them in her post Glimtar från Gotland.

On the windy deck of the ferry, I gave Sanna a kiss on the cheek.

I totally missed this, but a couple of weeks ago, Arisa Trew became the first woman to land the 900 (2½-revolution) on a skateboard. She’s 14. Wow! (via Eric)

Rauk Pareidolia.

A rugged limestone formation stands prominently against a dramatic cloudy sky. The rock has an uncanny resemblance to a face, with pronounced features suggesting a nose and chin.

We visited Fårö yesterday for a rauk safari.

A coastal landscape featuring a series of tall, weathered rock formations standing near the shoreline. The formations are irregular and jagged, with some appearing like tall pillars. The sea stretches into the distance under a partly cloudy sky, while the foreground is covered with low vegetation.
