This is a great example of a mature vanity website. I mean that in the best possible way. It's a throwback to the early web days, pre-geocities even, when people would make unique websites about themselves and their hobbies. The UI and the information architecture might follow some best practices, or mimic slightly the arrangement of another site, but they were fundamentally unique to the site in question. Brown's in particular is full of personality, not only in his writing, but in the layouts, color choices, photo choices, quotes, et cetera. I also have benefitted from many hours spent reading through Brown's site. What a great resource and gift.
