When I'm not doing HTML/CSSing for fun in order to keep my skills up, I love being nostalgic and bitter for the 90s. And because I'm a packrat of the digital nature, I tend to keep really old things around. Here's what I've hung on to.
The City They Forgot
Inspiration
It all clicked in High School. The class programmed in QBASIC before lesson plans for FrontPage became available, and as a self-proclaimed Internet Denzien I pivoted to that. I was familiar with Web pages, but it wasn’t until here that I realized I could build. I fell in love with HTMLing and building Web sites of my own. Computer Club on Raintree Ruckus
The Indie Web is here-- in practice and aesthetic-- as more people grow tired of the walled gardens and no-fun-in-functional designs. tl;dr: WEB 3.0 SUXXXORZ!
The Salt Flat
A Site About Final Fantasy

Opens in New Tab
This was my big project for my Emergent Computer class, in 2003. This is when HTML and CSS were beginning to really take off and was considered cutting edge! Lifted straight from the CD-R stack in my closet, here it is in all the cringey glory-- and I'm not talking about the use of frames. gawd I hate the voice I used for this. How pretentious. In my defense, I was 17 or some shit.
Notes
There's only minor tweaks to preserve intended navigational and structual function (case sensitivity became important, and you can't be sloppy with comments anymore). Otherwise there is...
- code deprecated by modern standards
may beerror-prone with incorrect syntax- not accessible-- missing/misused ALT attributes and questionable color choices
- contact/feedback pages (still) do not submit data
- background music (MIDI) no longer works :( Unless...
- looks really janky, ya?
Don't knock it. This was worthy of an A grade back in the day.
