Like several folks on the Internet, I’ve been taking the new Vivaldi 8.0 browser for a spin, and imported my Safari bookmarks to get a few favorites cooking on there. And as one does, I also took a moment to pick through dozens of websites I had organized eons ago to see if they still loaded (may of which I had forgotten).
Here’s a list of sites that still load, but seemingly have stopped updating. These sites fell out of regular visits long ago (perhaps through broken RSS feeds or interests drifting and I absentmindedly moved on), but worth a share, at the very least, to see if this resonate or remind anyone else of a bygone Internet.
- Mandolux
- The Oldest Living Things in the World
- Cinescape
- Grain Edit
- Typographica.org
- Dustin Curtis
- Ribbon Farm
- Fifty Foot Shadows
I particularly remember Mandulux as the place to get photography-based desktop wallpapers; alas, that site hasn’t been updated since 2008.
