It’s just incomprehensible that Mike has resisted organization and web design so long. It’s like a fossilized web site from the early Internet, preserved in amber for us to see.
I use his site all the time! Took a while to get the hang of where to find stuff but most important links and data is all there.
woah I love this. No navigation bar needed, you just zoom and scroll at will to whatever takes your interest
I actually agree. I feel like there was a different ethos back in the earlier web that information density was a-ok. It feels like years more usable than just-in-time loading modules and constant clicking through pages.
Amerikan!

Nope, I saw a video about the rarest bread clip and it talked about that site
A comic, made with photos of posed bendy figurines. Was very influential in certain circles (like other, more obscure websites I won’t name). Still up, but hasn’t been updated in 20 years.
Shit, as long as I’m posting websites from the 1900’s that are still up, there’s also Zombo.com.
All hail Zombo.com
If you want to see what various license plates look like from all of North America (as well as what they looked like in the past), there is a website that with a short URL. Strangely enough, the website never gone to https. The link is http://www.15q.net/
I guess https isn’t strictly necessary if you’re not handling user input.
There’s still an argument to be made that https prevents malicious code from being injected in transit.

Amazing nostalgia. I can’t remember how to do it!
If it makes you feel better, I don’t think I ever really knew how to do it.

Wow those calculators
A Girls World.
Back in the 2000s, a place for young girls. Articles, recipes, I think games? I edited articles for a bit. I use to be able to directly connect where I’d been online to there, in the sense of, “banner on website suggested this website and talked to people there which lead to this and then that and now to here” but my memory is bad now so I can’t.
If it still exists I doubt it’s anything like the original.

Anyone remember technorati? What about the nethernet? Ah that brings me back…
lots of weird sites that exist that probably only their creator visit
This site has probably the best disclaimer I’ve ever seen at the bottom of the page.
