Dark Corners

Dark Corners – One Year

A thank you to anyone who has participated in the past year. Today marks the one year anniversary for the blog. A blog that only lasted about seven months. But in its short lifetime has over five thousand views and three thousand visitors. While I did decide, in a particularly foggy period of my life to walk away from the project, I am still proud of the little slice of weirdness the blog…

A March morning. Gloomy, cold and dark. A Monday 5 a.m. start to another work week. It’s hard to overstate the feeling of discontent those early echos of last night’s dreams inspire. It’s an entire mood. Or movement. Depending on how much you self analyze. I have a tendency to claw at myself. So generally as much as I enjoy doing something I will eventually find reasons to hate myself for doing…

Hell…For Kids.

They tried to warn you about reading Harry Potter but you just didn’t listen. Just4kidsmagazine.com is a peculiar place. It’s basically a “Hell Simulator”. In case you didn’t know where yours truly is almost assuredly going upon my death, overall it sounds like a pretty shitty place. Acting as a like a web page “novel” you have to enter the “next room of Hell” by clicking links where to no…

A disgusting act of animal cruelty lands one woman in the jaws of one of China’s “Human Flesh” hunts. “Find her and kick her to death like she did to the kitten” writes a user on MOP, a Chinese online forum. It’s 2006 and this user’s sentiment echos the rage and disgust heard around the rest of the world as a viral video like a wild brush fire has taken the internet by storm. The video is of a…

Thebestdinosaur.com claims inaccurately that the Stegosaurus was indeed the best dinosaur. Firstly, I must admit that this simple web page is a bit low hanging fruit. Even for this blog, which thrives splashing around in the muddy waters of non-journalistic integrity and self servitude. I mean, really the only two prerequisites for blogging is an ego and a keyboard. And a certain level of…

Periwinkle’s Phenomenal Five: Original Movie Soundtracks http://pinkiesparadise.com/2021/03/04/periwinkles-phenomenal-five-original-movie-soundtracks/ — Read on pinkiesparadise.com/2021/03/04/periwinkles-phenomenal-five-original-movie-soundtracks/ This is a website I write for when I am not blogging about internet websites and mysteries. I figured this top five soundtrack list would be fun…

A relic from the mid 90’s offers a look into the Santa Cruz geek-house party scene. Ah, college. I didn’t actually go. But lived with people who did. And I drank like I did. Probably earning a few honorary degrees in drinking along the way. Now many of my friends that did go to college are either successful and well-off doing things they sort of enjoy or are hopelessly burdened with student…

A Weekend Short – Lofi.Org (& Some House Keeping Notes For Regular Readers)

I am releasing this Weekend Short a day early just to clarify for any of my regular readers and blogs I follow why you may see me “refollowing” you on WordPress. Some technical difficulties/glitches etc so have a good weekend and I’ll see you all for a regular post on Wednesday. With no explanation we have to dig into the past to discover what secrets this seemingly pointless website…

A simple mysterious web page shines the light back on you, the user. Asking you to share whatever is on your mind. On December 10th 2020 Reddit user, Scared_Shine posted a link to a website under the subreddit page /weird websites. That website was the simple and charming: http://asdfjklsemicolon.com Enter social security number here. Asdfjkl;.com is a very simple and straightforward concept.…

Hoan Ton-That is an interesting guy. He is an Australian entrepreneur by way of Vietnam, an ex model and he’s possibly created a technology that has destroyed our personal privacy forever. Per Clearview.ai: OUR MISSION Clearview AI is a new research tool used by law enforcement agencies to identify perpetrators and victims of crimes. Clearview AI’s technology has helped law enforcement track…

A simple website that tries to make things okay. What is happiness? I have no fucking idea. Depending on who you ask and what school of thought, psychology and philosophy you subscribe to it is a state and not a trait (important to note it is not permanent) and should never be confused with other intense emotions such as ecstasy, joy or bliss. Other psychologists hypothesize it’s as simple as…

A seemingly infinite loop of information spinning in it’s own web space and dimension. “Both religion and the occult derive much of their power from simultaneously simulating and managing dread: the anxieties that dog the perpetually shifting boundaries of the self, and especially the ultimate borderland of death. As new technologies being to remold these very same boundaries, the shadows,…
