Indie Squid Kid

Via Laughing Squid, via Octophant

Laughing Squid is more than just a web host, it is also on the front lines of culture and art. Their tentacles touch many parts of the Internet, including Tumblr. Here is a sampling of some recent cool content from http://links.laughingsquid.com:

I was very sad to discover last night (as I was cleaning out the cobwebs around here) that Laughing Squid’s squid.us blog shut its doors for good in January. Squid.us reported on squid sightings from all across the Internet and was the inspiration for Indie Squid Kid. It will be sorely missed, and I guess I’ll just have to step up and try to fill the multi-tentacled void that has been left behind. Fortunately the archives are still available so this important historical record is preserved for future generations.
