A true gem has been sent to us by Jennifer. Paul Stein is a strolling accordion player, although we’re not sure what he’s doing these days (site was last updated in 2004).
We’ve never seen an animated accordion gif before, but it’s wonderful. Wherever you are, Paul, thank you!
RetroSeek appears to be a search engine for websites that look old. In typical straight-out-of-1995 fashion, they’re “under construction” and have no About page. Hopefully they’ll be adding more sites to the directory soon (hint, hint).
Heys guys!
This is the website for my old secondary school (High School?). I
remember a student built it for them when I just started in the
school. 8 years later and not a lot has changed. Except where one of
the teachers has played around and broken the site. Its a fine example
of an internet dinosaur. I still look at it and cringe!! After looking
at this site would you want to go to this school??
Enjoy, Eden
Talk about old school!!
We stole that joke from the subject line in his email.
*shame*
Lord Necron says “Thank you for giving the ‘netucated’ masses an outlet for tragedies such as this.”
We say this is not a tragedy. It’s a work of art in three-part frames.
Lebanon Sk8 looks like the best, most fun place in all of Oregon. Looking at this website is like having a rave inside my eyes.
Thanks Bill C!

Hi,
Saw an article about you in the UK times, so here are some of Britain’s finest. Enjoy, or most likely not.
So bad its good.
So bad it defies description.
Joanna loves knitting, but she says “Man. Their site is so 1995.”
So visit Smiley’s Yarns for your yarn and jumping clock needs!

I hate to point it out because it’s my favorite pub, but their website really stinks of 1998
Several things to note: When you google search for the place it’s the ninth entry, the busy background, bad fonts, animated gifs, almost has the charm of a myspace layout.
All that’s really missing is there to be some Irish MIDI song embedded that blares when you open the homepage.
What is it with pubs and bad webpages? Maybe they should put the pint down before they start playing with their HTML.

OMG, if we don’t get Silkiestar Zolotoe Nachalo for our birthday, we’re throwing a hissy fit.
