The purpose of this page is to let you look into a much simpler time period of the internet and it's content. A world without the abuses in Flash and script technology. What it was like when I was first using the internet in the late 1990's.
When I first saw Shockwave Flash files in the beginning of 1999, I was amazed, it was a kind of technology that I was interested in. At that time, Newgrounds was about the only website that I could find Flash files on.
It was interesting at the time. Then came the year 2000 with it's new problems. People began then, to integrate Flash files into their webpages to replace other media files such as Gif, Jpeg, Bmp, and the other common types of media.
The internet began to slow down. So many websites focus on what they think is "eyecandy" but these things create dependancies and slow down things BEYOND reason. Not all sites do this but I to often see webpages that are polluted with abused technology.
There so many times when they will use a Flash file in place of a Gif or animated Gif file. Gif files were created for the internet. They are only made for 8-bit color which gives 256 colors. I think that an animated Jpeg format would have solved some problems of the limitations in the Graphics Interchange Format, especially since I have been working with Gif files for 9 years.
I am striving to prove that just because a page is written in plain HTML, it doesen't mean that it is automatically boring. I see so many people get into other types of web design because they lack creativity. I do my own art and coding, unless I need a certian picture from something else.
I make as much as I can so I don't have to worry about getting busted for infringments. Plus it also shows self-reliance and creative tallent.
These are two of the search engines that Tom Porter and I used to search for things on the internet with back in the late 1990's.
I designed this site myself, writing the code by hand with a very simple text editor, not a webpage maker like Frontpage or anything else.
So it means very much to me when I win these awards listed below for designing my pages.

I did not make these rainbow colored animated lines. I don't know who did. I put these in here because I seen a lot of old websites that had them. A lot of people who made websites the style that I like had used a lot of these through the mid and late 1990's.
