    awesome. by your twitter photo, you were either pretty young in the 90s, that's an old photo, or your friends are running a longevity startup.
    - Mz 10y ago
      The longevity startup is stealth and he has an NDA with the gov.
  - mstade 10y ago
    Yes, I find the lack of under construction signs and badly alpha blended gifs disturbing! ;o) (By which I mean: it's a thing of beauty!)
    - mijustin 10y ago
      Oooh. I definitely need to add an under construction gif.
      - mstade 10y ago
        Loving the sign! ;o)

Props for the blinking font.

  Had to do it with CSS because <blink> is no longer supported! ;)

    Definitely my favourite bit. I had to view source and figure out how you did it. Just like I did the first time around mid-90s. .. which ended up being the whole point.

Love the links to sporks, whiskey and IE is Evil! Your page is a great read and they are as well, so thanks, had fun driving down history lane remembering all the various shenanigans MS went through to shove their browser down our throats.

BTW: does anyone know of a lightweight, retro "hit counter" that can grab my GA stats and display them at the bottom?

  Also - I'd like the same thing but not lightweight. I want a page of responsive js maps and graphs that look just like GA, but publicly displayed. I made one geo map, but it took a looooong time.

I have stolen the exact css from that site on multiple occasions. Which small BC city were you in? I'm in Victoria.

  Vernon, BC!
