We finally have something to be excited about during these dark days of the current economy. Back in the dark ages of the internet, when most people still had to "dial in" while listening to some strange device making weird sounds in order to go on the net, there were services that allowed people with absolutely no knowledge on web design to create and host webpages. One of those services was GeoCities.

Personally, I enjoyed the web a lot more back when sites were like that... It was a lot of fun to explore a person's cohesive experiences about a topic in everyday life that they were enthusiastic about -- not just scattered pre-processed updates & form entries. Exchanging email (if there was enough in common) often meant being entertained by more of their tales, plus the joy of getting to excitedly share some with them.

I had a couple of geocities sites myself. The most successful one is still up:

I remember buying my first digital camera to take all the photos for this. I spent a summer designing it in (and trying to learn) Dreamweaver. I don't update this anymore, but it is also up at an alternate location.
