"Eujinks woz ere" was a simple message left on the InfinitelyRemote.com GOPHER site GuestBook. Of course in this game, that is very much like a "BEEP" on the metal detector.
This time we dug up some pure gold... Enjoy!

Too much time has passed since we last shined (shone?) the BlogDogIt spotlight on a worthy internet destination but, as luck would have it, someone from the mysterious world of the fringe internet has seen fit to mention our sister site, InfinitelyRemote.com, as a prime example of the treasure trove of internet goodness that may be had when touring the obscure realm of gopherspace [end run-on sentence here]
Below is a republishing of a thoughtfully written article about the simpler, side of internet life. This guy might really be on-to something here...

I think I did something good last week,in a way that's expanded my optimism about alternative ways of using the internet!
[Forgive me if I make any technical errors in the below; I’m passionate about computers and the old internet, but I’m far from an expert. If you are an expert on archaic networking terminology, please accept my outpouring of sincere love for the fruits of your personal interest as apologies for my ineptitude!!!]
So I’ve been messing around with a vintage 2001 iMac G3 for a while now (yes…computers released in the early 2000s are “vintage” now… the_future_is_now_old_man.jpg). I bought it a month or two ago, and had a lot of fun simply exploring Mac OS 9 and loading images onto its beautiful CRT screen. Unfortunately, I was clueless about how to actually mount disk images, a required step in order to install most of the abandonware available for free download online; special thanks to Macintosh Repository and Macintosh Garden! I finally made a breakthrough when I located MR’s FAQ section and figured out how to do it, but that’s not what this post is about.
Now that I was using the iMac more regularly, I also spent more time in Classilla, the most recently-updated (to my knowledge) web browser for classic Mac OS. It actually received its final official update just last year. While exploring Floodgap’s website (they host the servers for Classilla’s front page, and may have been involved in its development? I can’t remember, sorry), I found a door to a whole “new” realm of the internet: Gopher.
Mandelbrot fractals provide a very compelling glimpse into the wonder of plotting mathematical formulae.
Play with zooming-in to a selected point of the plot (and zooming-out by clicking the outer margins) and free your mind to reveal the mysteries of the universe. This utility will zoom-in to the extent of your computer's ability to resolve. Keep in mind the original shape will grow to be larger than the known universe as you dive deeper into the abyss.
The Origin and Purpose of Evil by Vladimir Gelesnoff
In the perennial questionings of the human mind after the ways of God there are four typical forms of perplexity. The first and most common is the question of circumstances. The injustice and inequality that obtain, the unequal distribution of the blessings of life, the superabundance of prosperity which the few enjoy at the expense of the masses, give rise to the question, How can such a condition be tolerated in the dominions of a God of absolute justice a God that considers the poor, and is the friend of the fatherless and the widow? In addition to this strange condition of affairs there are times when the fates seem to array themselves against man. The varied factors which spin out the web of our existence seem to combine their efforts, and conspire to defeat individual effort. The convergence of circumstances in shaping unfavorable conditions at times results in tragic issues. Unbalanced by the strain of prolonged adversity, the mind loses all sense of proportion. Brooding over trouble, men forget the tempering influences that are ever at work, despair of life all round, and either seek to drown their sorrow in wine or escape it altogether by suicide. This aspect of perplexity is presented in Proverbs, "Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul; let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Transporting Windmill Blades via railroad car sure makes for an awesome site. After watching 15 or 20 of these things go by I finally decided to get out the cell phone and record this event. Great entertainment for those fortunate enough to get stopped at the Oaklandon crossing this time!
Noël & Jeremy are the forerunners of the Fairy Pop genre. Vocalist, Noël Ill, is a visual artist, singer and songwriter from Southern California. Jeremy Garner is a producer, author and composer from New Zealand. Both members are strongly influenced by the supernatural. The band is known for melodic singing, driving beats and swirling electronic rhythms that put listeners into a trancelike state. [1]
Hard to believe it's been over five years (count 'em 5> 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...!) since I first shared my discovery of the independent film star / producer Kyle Hester. [see:A Day In The Life... Supporting Indie Film] Since then I have made it a point to keep an eye on his storied career.
So[1] I was surfing ROKU and decided to check-in on its YouTube channel. Here I was presented, as my number one suggested video, the following offering by none other than my ol’ cyber-fiend Kyle. I had fourteen minutes to spare so I donated them to "Kyle Hester Land." Might I suggest you do the same:

Resounding triumphs are so often celebrated. A rescue, a new baby, straight As, a race won, keys to a new house, a coveted title. If not for experiencing profound darkness, I would have not recognized the victory in a silent moment – persistent doubts dissolving, a thought reprocessed, a genuine prayer of gratitude, true acceptance, … Continue reading Success→
Eskimos had over two hundred different words for snow, without which their conversation would probably have got very monotonous. So they would distinguish between thin snow and thick snow, light snow and heavy snow, sludgy snow, brittle snow, snow that came in flurries, snow that came in drifts, snow that came in on the bottom of your neighbor’s boots all over your nice clean igloo floor, the snows of winter, the snows of spring, the snows you remember from your childhood that were so much better than any of your modern snow, fine snow, feathery snow, hill snow, valley snow, snow that falls in the morning, snow that falls at night, snow that falls all of a sudden just when you were going out fishing, and snow that despite all your efforts to train them, the huskies have pissed on.

Okay, clickbait title, you got me. Firefly Aerospace’s maiden launch of this rocket didn’t turn out so well, unfortunately. Here’s the explanation and analysis by Scott Manley — and if you like anything even remotely space-related, you need to be subscribed to him. Stay shiny, Jeff
In Japan where space is at a premium strange things happen. One of the most curious buildings in Japan is the Gate Tower Building in Osaka, Japan. The 5th, 6th and 7th floors of this 16-story office building is occupied by an express highway – passing right through the building. On the building’s floor information … Continue reading A highway passing right through a highrise building! Only in Japan
