My website is a shifting house & A rant on technology:
Website as thrown rock that’s now falling deep into the ocean. This statement quickly made me think of forgotten websites that are still running but never float to the surface of the web
J.R Carpenter | A handmade web:
Olia Lialinas description of websites made in the 1990s as bright, rich, personal, slow and under construction remind me of old forums that I stumble upon when I dig too deep in google searches when on the very last tabs of web results as they are always simple websites with very dated images, usernames, and beginner web design with minimal information and broken links. Whenever I stumble upon these dead pages I always wonder when the last person to visit the page was besides me. I like the artistic approach of Carpenters website, he uses images as links rather than tabs on the top of a webpage to navigate through a website.

Callum Coply | A friend is writing:
Upon opening the link to the website, I was suprised to see how many interactive elements were included. Trying to read through the readings was a bit difficult due to the various sound effects, colors, and speech bubbles appearing along the side of the screen
Mindy Seu | The Poetry of Tools:
Reading through the Poetry of Tools and finding examples of the websites with the massive amount of links makes me feel so uneasy. Websites in this reading such as Penelope Umbricos All the Catalogs and Philippe Caos Ritual for Empowerment reflect a maximalist style, and to me, almost resemble how big the universe is. The large amount of links especially on All the Catalogs create such an overwhelming feeling of visual clutter that also reflect how fast online consumerism was growing in the early stages of the web.
