Yvette and Ling would be perfect for each other. https://www.lingscars.com/


Can George Hutchins come over and play, too?

Lovely website, though I never quite understood why they portray the BMW 8 series saloon as a missile launcher truck.

This is a great website. It also makes me nostalgic for the old internet, where it was more amateur and novel.


http://wiby.me/ is a search engine for finding these sites. You can use the "surprise me" button to be brought to a random page.


zombo.com =)


The only limit... is yourself :_(


Damn My Eyes!

I was completely mystified by this, until I got to the "Panama City, Florida" part.

This is not even the usual indictment of Florida. This captures the general mood of the Panama City Beachfront area.


Florida woman! But gotta say, while the site is showing it's age a bit, it has character and Yvette's looks like a fun place.


The strangest part of all this is why there is a random screenshot of Flight Simulator... Really adds the cherry on top.


The flight simulator is the strangest thing?

Not the Psychological_Thriller_Horror_Success page about the Salem witch trials, Chimera, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Easter Bunny?

I'd love to see a map of all the pages on the site. You can dig through so many layers.

Here are some photos of a squirrel with some bonus sketches: https://yvettesbridalformal.p1r8.net/oil_portrait_painting_p...


And some old screenshots of Blender!

I’m confused by what they’re doing there but it all does seem to work and I love it.


I think that's the logo of the designer: Dude Otep.


found this video about the author/origin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rofmr7_xc7A


Here’s a website for a pizzeria in Seattle with some of the same early internet aesthetic: https://www.dinostomatopie.com/


This is fantastic. I want to try it just because of the website.

How's the pizza there?


Delicious. They also have another pizzeria called Delancey. Dino’s is old school east coast. Delaney is thin crust Italian.


According to their website, "our menu is actually good".


I love how it is responsive


The Netscape link!


This link may have triggered my chrome-mobile browser to make a download?


yes. i have not seen this in a very long time! it is supposed to play the midi file. in fact, it works on the other pages. but when you have you html wrong, the midi will get downloaded instead. that's what is happening on the index page.


Same. Midi file. Music only started playing when I clicked on a link to another page


It loads fast.


Not a single piece of JS. Also, nearly everything is in absolutely positioned divs, leaving the browser very little to do in the way of layout.


And not a single line of JavaScript in sight.


That’s what I noticed too. Imagine if the whole Internet loaded this fast?


...and looked like this.


Genius. I don't know if anyone could deliberately design this, could they? Seems to be a natural thing that an amateur coder somehow puts together. Everything on geocities was a bit like this.

Makes me think of the asian "visually busy" websites like https://kakaku.com/


    <meta name="generator" content="Yahoo! SiteBuilder/2.6/1.5.0_02">
Judging by that and the content being almost entirely within absolutely positioned divs, I suspect the author just dragged and dropped all the images and text boxes whereever she thought would be a good idea, in the style of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collage .


Well I guess there's https://dreamcult.xyz/ which seems to be intentionally trying to create a similar aesthetic, .


Reminded me of Arngren's website - which has quite the inventory - including even a personal VTOL contraption!

https://www.arngren.net/

https://www.arngren.net/vtol.html


Thank you! I have been looking for this website for years! I remember it from so long ago, and then I couldn't find it again. I was even telling someone about it the other day. You actually made my day by posting this! LOL


Just a note, the real thing disappeared a few years ago unfortunately, but the one I've linked is someone else's kindly archived copy from 8 April 2010.


This is a god-damned masterpiece!


"Make yourself useful unto the World and Human Kind will give you Bread" - Emerson

https://yvettesbridalformal.p1r8.net/famousquotes1.html


It's great how the copy sustains the mood of nonsensical good cheer: "Life is rich and sweet and good and healthy like a warm, soothing, scented essential oils massage in a steamy hot~springs bath~house ~* Aspen, Alice, Alpine"


I recognise the title, and remember the experience --- one of those sites where you know exactly what they're trying to sell.


Click on the link and could not help saying “woah”.

Also reminded of lingscars.com


Hah. I knew what this was before I clicked on it, and still said "whoa!"


Thank you. Although I never bookmarked that site I've never forgotten it.


My eyes!
