I absolutely adore the new design of the Cloudflare dashboard. Those 3D-ish buttons have neat Web 2.0 vibes. 😍

I just reminded myself of this video (which I found *so* profound back then): "Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us" from 2007

I remember stumbling across RSS a *lot* in the mid 00's and being grumpy about it / not fully understanding its power, but after this vid and realizing what feed readers could achieve, I never looked back.

Early Web Links
If you've been reading us for a while, you'll know that I have an inordinate fondness for the early days of this here World Wide Web. I have become disenchanted with social media, the infinite scroll, and not just Web 3.0, but even Web 2.0. React.js and other frameworks. Gimmie that good old HTML religion. You can have some CSS if you promise not to go crazy with it.

The Boring Internet
The internet you grew up on isn’t dying.

I spent hours poring over the different issues of ELPIS magazine, literally absorbed. If you liked this internet from the 1990s and 2000s, I can only recommend that you take a look. Fascinating! Written with passion. Rich in anecdotes..

If I had a nickel for every time a nostalgic TV show is set in Wisconsin I'd have five nickels. What is weird is that Japan is responsible for two of them.

The Website of Benimaru Itoh
I was listening to Retronauts 768 a couple of days ago, about the 20th anniversary of the release of Mother 3. It was interesting and you might enjoy it too, but the reason for this post is that they mentioned that Nintendo art legend Benimaru Itoh still maintains an old-school website.

It has been regrettable to inform you that I hadn't checked my emails, and as a result, The Blue Pages is now down for the time being. I am working on finding backups and eventually getting the site back up to a new host. I am very, very sorry for the inconveniences it caused.

This is one of the first pictures I saw on the internet back in the day, a picture of a dolphin and a cow jumping out of the water. This is a meme and psychological humor. The joke is that if you see anything other than two dolphins, you are overworked and need a vacation.
