Back in my day, we had to click links ourselves. We woke at the crack of dawn to surf the information superhighway. The World Wide Web was a series of tubes, not an algorithmic feed. They were simpler times.
Really though, sometimes a hand-picked list of interesting things that some guy found on the Web is a nice way to find something unexpected.
Search the independent web. You might not find the thing you set out for, but you might just find yourself.
