A collection of visual and hypertext media, Jake.Museum chronicles my journey through the world of web design and development.
The first website I ever made was on AOL Hometown , where I wrote about my favorite video games. Or at least, I think it was AOL Hometown. The Web was young and so was I, and the memories are hazy.
I spent the next few years poring over Funky Chickens and CSS Zen Garden , writing raw HTML in Notepad, tweaking my MySpace layout and trying to blog like the famous designers I wanted to emulate. I tried out new content management systems like TextPattern and cutting-edge JavaScript libraries like script.aculo.us . A lot of those early websites have been lost in the digital ether.
