Alex Chinneck turned a townhouse into a brick-and-steel noodle in London

The links are shoring up their summer travel plans. This time we’re colliding album art, the Milky Way, Wes Anderson, Keanu Reeves, and a mysterious location called Curio Island. More on that last one next.

PathCamp is back this July

PathCamp is our annual collection of live sessions for you, our path-making community. Each session is free and held live on Zoom.

Greetings from Curio Island! Christian and I have been hard at work the past few months getting things ready for you here. Next month we’ll meet you at North Point for the first session in our five-stop trail of adventure. We’ll see you again once per month through November … but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Here’s the skinny on Session 1. We’ll join you on July 27th at noon Eastern with Mark & Paul Johnson to talk about Internet 2¾. In an era of fast-moving change, where’s it all going?

Our resident identical twins demystify the past, untangle the present and predict the future. Context is everything, and this session will give you the peace and energy to love your work online.

That’s Session 1 at North Point. We’ll meet up with you again once per month on our trail across Curio Island, completing our trek in November. I hope we’ll see you at each stop! You won’t want to miss these.

We made this because we really like you and your amazing, curious brains :) Every session is free. Register for PathCamp now by joining the path. Explore Curio Island here.

See you soon!

Dead Cat

10 curious links that would have killed the cat
🕹️ You can play “Doom” almost anywhere. “Doom was developed in a really unique way that lent a high degree of portability to its code base,” says it programmer. Tech enthusiasts have run it on treadmills, calculators and pregnancy tests.
🏠 Reconsidering a typical Flemish country house. The lines, the materials, the louvered window roof! Okay I need to sit down and calm down.
📸 The 2025 Milky Way photographer of the year. Breathtaking, every single image.
🎬 The Wes Anderson Archive from The Criterion Collection, 10 films from 25 years. Pristine 4K restorations packaged in a set that itself looks like a prop from an actual Wes Anderson film.
🚗 Internet Roadtrip, where we’re all in the car on Google Maps together. Vote for where the car goes. Argue your case in the comments. The latest from internet madman Neal.fun.
USPS worker on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon.
📬 How the most remote community in America gets its mail. “The mule train, which makes the 16-mile, six-hour loop up and down the canyon five days a week, is perhaps the most extreme manifestation of the USPS mandate to ‘render postal services to all communities.’ “
💿 The history of album art. “[Columbia Records] pioneered the sale of songs in bundles: the individual discs were bound together in packages resembling photo albums, partly to protect the delicate shellac that the records were made of, partly to increase their sales. They resembled photo albums, so Columbia called them ‘record albums.’” Fascinating!
☝️ DeskMinder, a minimal MacOS reminder app. Love the simplicity, love the fullscreen reminders, love that it integrates with Apple’s Reminders.
🎨 A rippling townhouse sculpture lands in London. I have so many questions and they all start with “How??”
🏎️ Keanu Reeves tries to become a race car driver. Racing low-horsepower cars (often called a momentum cars) is less dangerous but more demanding for the driver. All cup cars are mechanically identical—the only difference is the driver.

New at HQ

in Greenville, SC

Here in sunny Greenville, SC, our team is finishing up a 6-week cycle of work. We’re in test-and-polish mode, so show-and-tell will have to wait for next time. Looking forward to sharing our work with you soon!

*  *  *

It’s true—Christian and I really have been working on PathCamp for months. I can honestly say we’re trying to make the most fun, interesting thing we possibly can for you. We know you don’t stay in one place. You keep exploring. Keep pushing boundaries.

This one’s for you.

Pssst, hey, I know I work at an internet company. But I actually made a whole packet of PathCamp stuff to send you. If you fill out the survey in the step for Session 1, I’ll mail one to you! Don’t worry, we won’t store, sell, or use your address for anything other than this, ever.

What do you think of PathCamp ’25 so far? I’d love to get your feedback!
High five,
