Friends, we gather to honor the dearly departed icons of the early web. 🖥️⚰️ Though they have vanished from our screens, their spirit endures both in our memory & in the Wayback Machine, preserved across 1 trillion pages of web history.
Pay your respects ⤵️

Another way you can support this trip is by buying the pdf of *Games for an Ordinary Life* a poetic art zine of short, sweet and dangerous minimalist games.

Well, I still hear much more from you and scores of other people I know personally that I would otherwise.
Admittedly that is only one part of my social media consumption.

This past week we had 1 1/2" of rain (in western Massachusetts). That is certainly helpful but we are still many inches below healthy levels, as we were nine years ago when I wrote this haiku.

growing out my hair
