Alright, I finally have to share this old site. I have avoided it in the past because quite honestly, I assumed that the domain name and header image would have gotten me hit with trademark infringement and a DMCA notice. Thankfully I was far too small time for this

Look at that! A custom header in the NES font! Two header menus! And the same quality of writing

While the archives here are from 2010-2011, the site had been started elsewhere in 2008. It’s been a while since it was directly online, but it is admittedly nice to be able to take another look at it thanks to the invaluable Internet Archive.

I just made a donation to the Internet Archive in thanks for keeping some of my old sites up well past any value to anyone but me. I encourage you to do the same!
