It’s an absolute shame that this is the first time I’ve come across the site 50 Watts. Now that I’m here, I can’t stop.
This page called “The Train That Ate Flowers,” which includes a number of beautifully illustrated and beautifully decayed children’s book covers, caught my attention today. I’m not even clear how I ended up here, but I am glad I did.
I couldn’t leave without mentioning just how jealous I am of this advice from the site’s author:
The best way to navigate 50 Watts is to click about randomly until you find God or go insane.
That sums my browsing behaviour perfectly.
