I had to start somewhere

March 5, 2006


Well, I thought this would be kinda fun.

If anyone wants to experience a true piece of “Vilhauer Web Page Design,” look no further than this: my first web page for the Sioux Falls hardcore band Floodplain.

It’s a Geocities site, and it’s pretty bland, but it’s still there — fully operable.

I searched around for my first personal writing site with the incredibly emo name “…prying” but it is no longer around. That one was created on The Globe, a now defunct free website company. Apparently, they sell cell phones or something.

Anyway, this was me at the ripe age of 19. I convinced my roommate Joel, the turkey farmer and total computer dork (meaning he was a dork with a computer, not that he was competent with it), to purchase a scanner so I could scan the fliers. He somehow thought he’d actually use a scanner, but he never did. I was the only person to use it.

Yup.

Come to think of it, this site is about as creative as the first BMOWP site I had.

None more black. Memories.

    also, why the fuck is my den of the dead website gone? boo. i was just reading the guestbook on the floodplain site and it’s pretty funny. but the funniest thing i found is this…look at the guest book and scroll about halfway down until you see a message that starts with this “Or what else corey??? any way you talked about your page on mine. so here goes” ok now go to THAT person’s website. it’s a site dedicated to that warren guy from empire records. read all of it my favorite warren guy quote posted is “cool ranch doritos are a good snack” from 1997 blur magazine. make sure to read the how to be a punk page then check out the guestbook for the huge, lame fight. it’s so long i couldn’t get through all of it, but i laughed and cried, a lot. remember how dumb the inny-net used to be?

    Yeah. Pern. Ugh.

    Joel ended up being too cool for me anyway. He never went to class — he was a nerd who didn’t study enough to be a nerd. He didn’t sign up for classes for his second year and was never heard from again.

    And that website? Yeah, I just went on it too and did the same thing — it’s as bas as those “Jesse Camp Fan-sites” that I found while doing the Jesse Camp post for Misc.Asst.

    I barely remember the den of the dead website, but I already miss it.

    Zombies.
