12/24/25 - Website is revived!


I took down the website because I had grandiose plans of self-hosting it on my PowerEdge server....however I still haven't figured out how to self-host a public website without getting my life destroyed by hackers, so that plan kind of fell to the wayside. This being a static website with no input boxes, I'm probably over-thinking things, but I like to be safe.


So back to DigitalOcean we go!


I also finally got rid of Instagram because that app just became a cesspit shithole of nazi and AI content. Made cutting the cord MUCH easier! Now this website is my social media instead!


Anyways I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with this website. I was gonna do tutorials but I'm too verbose, I talk too much lol. Plus shit changes on the internet so quick, it's just better to post links to source material instead of try to keep up with it by myself. As I think of more to add to this page and build it out, I will!

1/23/25 - First blog post!


I began this page as a little project out of boredom, ran into some issues, and shelved it for a year or so. Then I found a video on the "personal web" and was interested. So I came back and finished the site.


I'd been feeling nostalgic for the MySpace days, where you could use HTML to customize your page. I remember spending hours designing a theme in an online MySpace theme editor, then learning to read HTML so I could modify the output of that theme editor to remove their shitty watermarks and branding, leaving me with a clean HTML MySpace theme. My wife has similar memories, and she isn't even super tech-ey like I was! MySpace ALLOWED us to learn, gave us a reason to figure it out, and so we did. A marketable skill being learned by 14 year old emo kids to make their online scene-kid hangout spot look cool.


Nowadays, my wife probably doesn't remember much of what she learned back then, as she hasn't been given a reason to. Facebook took over with that penis-faced dork Mark Zuckerberg at the helm. I remember thinking "what the fuck is this?" when my friend Zack told me to make an account. "How do I set my profile music? Why is it just white and blue? Can I customize ANYTHING? And why are people using their real names? This website sucks!"


But, despite being a bland, uncustomizable shithole, I stuck with it. I liked it less than MySpace, but everyone from my school was on it now. It had an instant message feature, which over time found a way to make our beloved AIM obsolete. The stupid, bland, uncustomizable theme of the website did feel pretty clean, and new at the time. It felt like the next evolution of the internet, and I guess it was.


But the next evolution was something gross. Slimey. Corporate. Mass-market. Facebook never included the ability to theme your profile with HTML so that you couldn't make their website look like shit. This website wasn't for us like MySpace was, it was for Mark Zuckerberg. Eventually we learned Facebook had been harvesting user data to sell to advertisers, and what a goldmine. Mark created a website where people would sign up to willingly surrender their data, and he would secretly take that data and sell it to data brokers. Then we learn that, actually, EVERYONE'S doing it! Every tech app you've fallen in love with on your phone is actually spyware watching your every move and selling it to data perverts, who sell it to advertising perverts so they can efficiently find new ways to wag their little pink cocks in front of you so that you'll give them money. And they're also not securing your data cuz everything that costs money is bad, so their databases keep getting hacked!


So, I began work on this website, seeking some kind of refuge from the torrent of terrible spyware coming out of that toilet Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg and every pale-faced tech wretch with a billion dollars to throw around found themselves on the propaganda machine "The Joe Rogan Experience", more colloquially known as the "Open Season for Tech Billionaire Bigmouths", spewing their whiney bullshit like they don't already have the entire fucking world by it's balls. Joe Rogan just sits there, looking like he's been hit in the fucking head, in complete unquestioning wonder of the vampire sitting before him


This same pack of hyenas could be seen prowling at Trump's inauguration, googley-eyed and trying not to explode in ecstasy as their plans to sell out the entire human race for barely-functioning AI technolgy comes to a successful close. I made this website partly out of nostalgia for the internet of my childhood, and partially out of contempt for what technology has become. For the people who are in charge of it. For the billionaires it's created.


I hope you stick around!
