"The internet is so much more than the loud and narrow portion we encounter daily. If we attend closely to the environment, we’ll start to see the life forces of everyday people, their dreams, frustrations, prayers, anxieties, and joys given willingly and freely. They deserve to be given the space and honor of being discovered. They are waiting for you to discover them." - Spencer Chang & Kristoffer Tjalve

@dogtrax nice! That seems along lines of the phone book. I’m not remembering well there was a small group of educators, post #clmooc that organized some kind of Walk The Web or Walking the Web project of similar exploration. Maybe @nomadwarmachine remembers? Or am I imagining?
morning came same time
but found me tired in bed,
cozy, so late start
One thing I shared from the Internet Phone Book in my post is this diagram that was put together by the two curator/editors of the book: Kristoffer Tjalve and Elliott Cost
It's a place to explore their thinking on curation and themes. There's a randomizer button at the bottom left that is worth a click or two.
I am going to start a personal inquiry project in 2026 with the Internet Phone Book as my guide, in hopes of finding interesting indie web sites. You can read what I hope to be up to here: https://dogtraxwrites.com/books/internet-phone-book-future-explorations-of-the-indie-web/ #clmooc #netnarr #ds106

I would like to say that if ever there was a project that resonates so well with the small web ethos of #DS106 and other web-adjacent projects (like #clmooc), the Internet Phone Book takes the cake. https://internetphonebook.net/ I have a hard copy and I am slowly diving in, nodding my head in affirmation of its celebration of independent web voices. (and thinking a lot of @cogdog and his continue mission to celebration many of the same concepts). I'm so glad projects like this still exist, you know?
to carry within us an orchard ...

https://poets.org/poem/blossoms-0
Some of us bloom as flowers,
buds on a green stem,
with roots taken to soil
Succulent fruit, ripe
as rhymed words,
poems on branches of trees
Others of us wait in cold,
huddled up, battened down
for season's change
The pit we feel inside
our stomach may yet become
the seed of nourishment
A final #SmallPoems for Advent of Joy, with thanks to @deannamascle for her calendar of poetic paths #clmooc
light snow gently falls,
coating the grass and sidewalks.
trucks spread salt freely.

I do have something in mind for this prompt of messy imperfections but it is in another part of the house where someone is still sleeping so it will have to wait. I did enjoy the post by Sarah Leavitt, though.
Such as this:
"My guess is that the people you’ve met are one of the best things about your time with us. I hope you’ve found people who get you and your art, who support you and push you and celebrate you." -- Sarah Leavitt

"We lost interconnection across contexts. We traded curiosity for feeds. We let platforms become proxies for community. We shrank the web to a handful of apps.
The answer isn’t to burn it down. The answer is to walk outside again."

@dogtrax This is the sound of my jaw dropping on the floor, your students are brilliant with their internet mapping project- the water sprayer of time, the dangling bloody chains...
How do you frame this task for your students?
Wow.
Wow.
I went digging to find ones I had created as a "Make" assignment in #netnarr (2020) https://make.arganee.world/thing/internet-map/ and then going back to ones around 1990 when Kelly was collecting them https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinkelly/albums/72157613562011932/
Okay, who's selling wall calendars around here? #MastoArt #FediGiftShop
There will be one for 2026 from the #clmooc community.
Last year's is there now as an example.
