My Links Page

Before the days of widespread social media and before search engines were all-powerful, people had their own personal websites.

Now that G**gle, F*cebook, R*ddit, and other garbage sites dominate the web, most people don't have a true online presence, much less link to others who do. This is my list of cool stuff I've found, brought to you by a real person, not an algorithm.

Web Buttons

Holdover from kitschy '90s web design? Maybe. But they're coming back!
