an old thought and the new web (Mar 23, 2025)

It’s early September, 2001 and there’s something new on the web - pop-under ads.

I’m sorry but when I hear Yahoo! or GeoCities, especially in the same sentence, my first thought is pop-under ads. They made me so angry back then, I created an initiative to take a stand against them.

The thing about the web is you can stake out a little place of your own - a place for expressing yourself (whatever that means to you) - a place you can call home - a place from which you might say your piece.

NeoCities is not β€˜Yahoo! GeoCities’… it’s much better, thank you!

baggage (Aug 29, 2024)

I’m a firm believer the baggage we carry from others in our lives are, with time, replaced by challenges we’ve been inspired to impose on ourselves. Feeling pressure to succeed at being happy is far better than the pressure to live up to someone else’s ideals.
