Random links from Gemini and the web. I find this a fun way to discover interesting pages, because it gives me the feeling of foraging for stuff. There are definitely gems to be found.
The bookmark links are saved using my Send-Tab-URL Firefox extension, whenever I find something interesting on the web. This extension allows you to send the current tab's URL and Title to a CGI script on the web.

The blog links were extracted from a corpus of URLs that I harvested from the pages linked to in Hacker News submissions and comments. There are around 685,000 blogs in the database.
The Gemini links are simply harvested from known hosts index pages. I did the same for gemlog feed entries, because it bugs me that posts get lost after so little time (not exactly lost, but you know).
The 'awesome-*' links are extracted from the curated 'awesome' lists that people maintain, typically on GitHub. I am a big fan of curation, I think that it offers important routes out of the web swamp.
If you'd like to contribute links, feeds, or bookmarks, or if you would like my SQLite databases of links, you're always welcome chat with me on IRC (kevinsan) or email me (kevin at susa dot net) if I'm not responding (I'm usually on IRC, but sometimes miss things).
You can also use the 'send-tab-url' add-on (see above) to contribute interesting pages you find on the web. By default, the add-on posts links to my server, so you can just edit this URL to set 'token=XXXX' to something unique to you. If you let me know what it is, then I will include your suggested links in the Bookmarks Lucky Bag for everyone to find!
If you already have a list of links you'd like to contribute to the Lucky Bags, please email them to me and I'll process them into the database.
