constants and variables

There's a Youtube video that discusses the purpose of this website here. Well, not really as I started this last year and only watched the video today. Actually,

Here's the embed:

Turns out there's a geocities clone called neocities. This is great, fantastic even. I would rather go here than Reddit, (though I really digg that digg.com is back! Seriously, check this shit out. Make a website, get off the platforms! Reach out to me and I'll help you get set up. I love this kind of technology and this is what started my love of networking. All the cool things.

Once again, I regret not saving previous versions of my websites. I would love to have that little time capsule. I didn't see my GeoCities account on archive.org and I'm not entirely sure of the address anyway.

This video also informed me of a neat project, a web server powered by solar energy that seems right up my alley. It's tech, sustainable, and DIY all in one site.

This is a cool website. Do you recall seeing the 1995 classic movie Hackers? This website mimics the UI that our hackers used to hack the Gibson.

All kinds of awesome.

The wonders of new (and old) technology never cease to amaze. This article from SciTechDaily posits that your own body could be used to see you based on capturing and analyzing WiFi radio signals. The tech has an incredible success rate and seems like no special firmware needs to be deployed. Who needs Ring Cameras when you have WiFi just about everywhere.

I wonder, could LTE cellular signals be used for the same purpose? What about FM Radio, or some other radio waves? I expect that LTE/5G may be the closest in density that could be used for this.

I found this via HackerNews or Kottke. At least I thought that I did. I can't find the source. Regardless in the last few days I saw this and bookmerked it. It hasn't changed. This is the first page on the Internet. Ever. It's being served via HTTPS, which I expect was a change. However, this was not the way HTML was originally displayed in 1989. This is a closer experience.

Absolutely brilliant. Reminds me of Telnet sites. I miss the old ways sometimes. It could be that I'm level 50 now, and this might be the age where I reminiss about the good old days with really rosy glasses. I am also reminded of BBS' and the cool ANSI/ASCII art scene that propagated through them.

I like art. I do not consider myself an artist. I have pencil drawings and small pieces of art hangin in my walls from friends (and my kids) who are artists. They create art. I know what I like and I really like art that has a retro look and feel ot it. Yesterday when I was reading my RSS Feed, I came across this post. I'm not sure of I came to it via HackerNews or Kotke.

Regardless, I really like the artwork here. The artwork for the people specifically hard form the late 80's and early 90's, though my tastes tend to go father back. I had a "vintage" mac and I played briefly with hypercard. If my childhood home had a Mac instead of an IBM clone, I would have been completely enthralled with hypercard. From what I gather, it was a pretty robust system.
