The owner

I've been casually making websites as a hobby since Web 1.0 hit the scene. My family was an early adopter of the internet, so the moment I found out I could make my own sites myself, with anything I wanted on it, I jumped at the chance. My first attempts were on a proprietary web builder that was exclusive to our local dial-up ISP service that provided free webpages to all users. It was a lot like using Microsoft Wordpad from what I can remember. An early WYSIWYG website software.

As I got older I moved on to Geocities and the AOL page builders. I remember the last website I created on Geocities was giant robot and kaiju themed, sometime in 2005, and had a subdomain dedicated to my high school trip to Japan. A small portion of it can still be found on the wayback machine, to my delight. By that time, MySpace had already hit the scene and I was now in college, so I could sign up for the shiny new Facebook that was still exclusive to college students. Social media had began its take over.

Now I find the web pretty sterile and corporate. It's boring. I'd like to help change that by giving back in the same way I was helped all those years ago by kind internet strangers. Let's make the internet more creative and fun again. (With limits. I'm looking at you people with white text on top of a textured background.)
