Cleaning up some old papers and to my amazement, I found a printout I made of the first website I ever made, a GeoCities site from… 2000.
That's a piece of internet history! I had a lot of fun with that site and true to Y2K aesthetics, it was filled with flashing icons, broken HTML, and eye-scorching backgrounds.
I've been online for about 30 years and well, the internet isn't as fun as it used to be. It's become too commercialized.
Yet it astounds me sometimes to think I lived in an era with a significant technological achievement and then witnessed its impact on culture... which hasn't always been positive.
