Introduction

A couple days late, WHOOOPS! More on this story in the Emanations section.

Hidden (and not so hidden) Gems

Collaborative Directory of Geminispace

This is a really cool effort from mbays to make a directory of gemini capsules. What makes this one different is that it's driven by community submissions directly, as in you can go there and submit your capsule yourself or any gemini links to other capsules you want to be in the directory as well. Like right now. Go ahead! (P.S. Thank you Karan for the tip)

gemini.thorp.dev

A capsule with some bicycling stuff, some tech stuff, a gemlog and some links. What's not to like? Nothing, that's what! A nice capsule if I ever saw one.

caseyrichins.online

Here you'll find some personal information and logs about computer and linux things as well as tiny houses. Disclaimer: The true name of this capsule is TOP SECRET so you will have to figure that out for yourself ;-).

A small place in the end of time

If you are even able to see this, the laws of space, time and physics doesn't not apply anymore. Sit back, get a warm cup of tea and enjoy.
I'll post random things here, depends on what pops on my head. Mostly will be writing about my lil project of simulating the entirety of the universe.

Kirsa's Cyber-space

Hacking, off-grid living and lots of interesting links.

Emanations

Life Getting in the Way

Sorry if that intro got your hopes up for an exciting story about why this issue is a couple days late. The real reason is extremely boring. Lack of time and energy during the couple days in the middle of the month when I usually put the issue together. That's all really. When I started smolZINE I intended to keep it easy going and casual, not put too much pressure on myself to take it too seriously etc etc. And by golly I'm sticking to it! The other night when I got the kids to bed and could have sat down and hammered it out I just thought to myself, dang I have very little energy right now and would much rather lounge on the couch with some snacks and watch a show before going to bed a little early. So I'm getting it finished up now a couple days late and it's a little shorter than usual but thems the breaks sometimes. Thanks for reading and have a lovely second half of September geminauts!

To play Stinky Pinky you will need to read the two descriptions below. They each describe a word and the two words rhyme. Example: 1. Smelly, 2. Finger; Answer: Stinky Pinky. Get it? You can email your answer to the address found at the bottom of each smolZINE to confirm if you are correct. The first to answer wins...uhhh I haven't figured that out yet so my congrats will have to do for now.
