THIS SITE PURSUES THE DREAM OF A KINDER INTERNET

Greetings, Internet user! My name is Hal, and you've stumbled upon my little page on the World Wide Web. I'm an adult collegiate and library scientist, intrigued by all things wacky, weird, clunky, and charmingly unique! I'm Jewish, autistic, and interested in computing, museology, and developing my little niche along the information highway. My partner's site can be found here (tell him I say hi!), and you can consult THIS page for some other great sites!

I love weird anime, cool girls, combat robotics, and amassing PDFs. I love archival systems and database science, and there's nothing so appealing to me as preservation-based data entry. I have a penchant for strange collectibles and inexpensive, low-quality toys. When I grow up, I hope to be an AVIF file.


HAVE FUN SURFING THE WORLD WIDE WEB!

The modern web, as it stands today, is a greatly reduced version of its earliest incarnations; devoted to adspace and datamining, the Internet known to most users is a corporate facsimile of one of the most predominant mediums of creative expression.
The Internet is not lost, though. Tucked away in furtive crevices exist sites like mine, and sites like those belonging to so many talented users and developers who call Neocities home. Making your own website is an easy, fulfilling, and creatively freeing exploit; by creating your own space within the Internet, and not following a template designated for use by corporations, you liberate yourself in some small quantity, and enrich your mind with a furthered knowledge of what it means to make something from scratch. I hope this site, and others on Neocities, might inspire you to establish your own niche on the World Wide Web. It's a tedious process, something any webmaster will reveal to you, but a process well worth the effort!
