The internet is a wondrous and scary place, but at Whiteboard we believe that it has enormous potential to be a tool for good, for connection, for understanding, for knowing and being known. We also think it's full of a lot of things that are just plain ole fun, and the links we choose to share each week are carefully curated to provide you with a careful dose of an Internet you maybe haven’t experienced yet, right in your inbox.

Each week, Open Tabs will a collection of the most interesting stories, news, and curiosities that came across our desk in the previous week. Every link is sustainably copied and pasted by hand, not by machines or algorithms, where it is then saved in our bookmarks, favorites, reading lists, or Slack reminders for days—or sometimes even weeks before finding it's way to you.

Open Tabs is headed up by Nick Blackmon—you can say hi if you'd like to or share your own list of tabs you've not gotten to.
