I came across the archived files of the very first website I ever made - and it's really not as horrible as I remembered. In fact, a lot of it's kinda good, especially where the fun shines through.

Where's the giddiness in what I do these days? One of the "Ten Commandos Of Fun" from Pete Wagner's Buy This Book (a play on Abbie Hoffman's famous title) is Thou Shalt Make Fun To Have Fun. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of like saying that you have to spend money to make money. (I can think of quite a few things that are cannibalistically self-perpetuating, for better or worse.)

So I've trotted out that old website, that first impulse... maybe as incentive, maybe as reminder. Don't know. What I do know is that it seems a lot longer ago than just six years since I made the thing. And I haven't really gotten all that much better.

Alas. And hurrah. Whatever. We'll see what shakes in the next few months; it's beginning to look like they're harboring some unusually potent varieties of strangeness.
