A truly classy example of what can be achieved through CSS-based design. Still bringing a smile to my face as I type this.

Thanks for the memories. I was hoping to see a “text crawl” in there somewhere but I guess they might have been a little after ’96.

I’m assuming your spelling of “arhcives” is just one more salute to historical web design

Hey,

loved your geocities theme, it made me laugh remembering that kind of sites, so vintage. That last multicolored gif also made my eyes hurt

Six and a half years later, this blog post continues to elicit laughs, Bruce.

I was cruising through your older posts and lo(!) what do I find but this! I nearly screamed when I clicked the link and saw the result!

I can only say this: A-1, double-plus good, f**king brilliant!

(I discovered the very first site I ever built last month. Yes, it was a GeoCities one. I reviewed it, copied it all to a tiny USB drive about to be tossed. I poured gasoline on it in the firepit out back and burnt that sucker to beyond ash. It’s gone forever!)

That eye-searing, headache-inducing, epilepsy-causing, horrid, eye-raping conglomeration of pixel crap you did has had me laughing off & on now for 20 minutes.
