I've been to this website a number of times over the last decade or so, and I love it. It reminds me of the old internet.

I miss this. I actually miss the joy of the page downloading. I miss the unqiueness of the websites and the content. What we have now for a global internet is great and the tech and the content is beyond amazing but, we have also lost something too.

- crispyambulance 7y agoWe've (mostly) lost the idea of a content creator just creating content for the joy of sharing it, and transmitting it on their own through their own website using their own rules. So much content is now mediated through "platforms" that are beholden to a complex network of surveillance capitalism and its economic pressures. It's actually refreshing to see someone doing their own thing, like, truly their own thing. That said, the dude could use some CSS-skills. Although I can totally imagine the reaction of someone like that to modern web frameworks. He might be inspired to roll-his-own... he did with EDA CAD as the creator of KISSCAD.
