(this was originally a bulletin, sorry if you saw it already) We've become so conditioned to instant gratification through notifications we've lost sight of the creativity and healthy discourse that is only now possible online by moving to the periphery. If you, like me, long for the olden days of the internet, you need to accept that the amount of time the Internet is actively courting your atten... » Continue Reading

I've wanted one of these for a while. I found one at Goodwill like five years ago for $10 but passed on it because I didn't know if it worked and I didn't have any floppies. Well now I have dozens of 3.5" floppy discs and a Sony Mavica camera, too. It has a 0.3MP sensor. In 1999 you didn't advertise the megapixels because no one knew or cared. Just having a camera that took instant, digital photos... » Continue Reading

If you like old computer stuff, you should definitely give cool-retro-term a try. I first was made aware of it thanks to Dave Plummer, a retired Microsoft software engineer whose YouTube channel I watch. It's probably the nerdiest thing I watch, and sometimes he gets over my head, but he's very affable and knowledgeable and he lives the sort of life I would like to lead had I applied myself and be... » Continue Reading

Wanted to give a quick update because I haven't been on here in a bit, but I'm back on my Python kick. It's been so long since I started learning I decided to start again from the beginning. I'm pretty excited because the previous times I've tried to learn were before my ADHD diagnoses. So I'm much better equipped with a treatment plan and I actually know what's the deal with my brain, it's not ju... » Continue Reading

If you want to learn a little about making your own websites, it might be helpful to start near the beginning. Today's web is infinitely more complex than it was in the mid-1990s, but a lot of what was there then remains today. So I'm writing this as a fictional story, and I'll move from the narrative to the instructive parts back and forth. The very first iteration of HTML was created and release... » Continue Reading

There's not a lot of nostalgia for a return to the text-only web. There are a lot of possibilities for doing so, but I think the lack of nostalgia mostly has to do with the fact very few people outside of academics and students in a very narrow window of time ever really experienced the web on a text browser. Lynx was first introduced in 1992, and NCSA Mosaic, which was the first mainstream graph... » Continue Reading

I think I just want a phone that makes phone calls and does text messages. Having the ability to play music would be nice but not required. It's hard, though, because my non-dumb phone is also my car GPS and lets me check messages from work. It's all the hundred other things it does that I don't really like. I don't like those things because I am weak and can't avoid them. I use social media way ... » Continue Reading

No one has asked and I've given no reason for people to suspect otherwise but hot damn I'm feeling good right now. I got back from a work trip and then took the remainder of this week off, and one sign the time-off is doing is magic is when you feel like you're ready at any time to return to work. And I am. I am ready. Please don't confuse this with me saying I'm not enjoying time-off, because tha... » Continue Reading

I really do love how this site is not only authentic in its functionality and design to the original, but the people who use it are new, younger versions of the people who were using it back in the day. I don't even know how that happened. It's so cool to see. Honestly, I was expecting this site to be nothing but olds like me. Instead I discovered it's youngs who like emo music and anime. To you f... » Continue Reading

I was going to talk about HTML 1.0 but then I looked at Wikipedia and learned I never actually wrote a webpage in HTML 1.0, instead my earliest HTML experience was in 2.0, which was released in 1995. That's crazy. I read about the WWW obsessively at the time. It was maybe the thing I was most interested in outside of video games. One day, in an issue of MacWorld, or maybe MacUser (my dad subscrib... » Continue Reading

I've been saying "man I wish we never turned our backs on MySpace," and then I got the idea to recreate it. So I started building the layout and perfected it and then someone said "Oh you're not on SpaceHey it's exactly what you're doing." And it is, but much better than what I was making. That being said, in my quest to recreate MySpace I learned a lot about modern web layout. I didn't know anyt... » Continue Reading
