🎉 Hello, World Wide Web!
Welcome to my brand new website! I'm so excited to finally have my own little corner of the internet where I can express myself without algorithms, corporate overlords, or design trends telling me what to do.
Why Go Retro?
You might be wondering, "Why make a website that looks like it's from 1999?" Great question! Here's why:
- Personality Over Perfection - Modern websites are boring. Everything looks the same. Where's the creativity?
- Fun Over Function - Sometimes you don't need to optimize for conversion rates. Sometimes you just need sparkly GIFs.
- Expression Over Engagement - This isn't about going viral. It's about having fun and being myself.
- Nostalgia - I miss the old web. Let's bring it back!
What's This Site About?
This site is going to be whatever I want it to be! Expect:
- Random blog posts about things I find interesting
- Cool links to other rad sites
- Experiments with web design
- Maybe some tutorials?
- Definitely more GIFs
The Technical Stuff
For the nerds out there, this site is built with:
- Eleventy - An amazing static site generator
- Nunjucks - For templating
- Pure CSS - No frameworks, just vibes
- Way too many GIFs - Because why not?
The theme is called Retroweird and it's inspired by GeoCities, MySpace, and all those wonderfully weird personal homepages from the 90s and early 2000s.
