1. no fancy crap.
aspringasfoul is a personal project. it is a self-serving entity and means to provide absolutely no public service. it has always been my priority to put as much effort as possible into each project that i undertake, and with one as personal as this it becomes even further subject to this mentality. each page is handcoded and each image is edited using the most primitive software available.
3. credentials.
i remember when you could talk about the internet and no one knew what it was. i remember muds and text-based browsers. i remember when modems had handsets attached to them. i remember when america online was only available on those giant five and one-quarter inch diskettes and charged you by the hour. i remember writing aquarium screensavers in basic on an old ti-99 and the foot-and-a-half wide disk drives i saved them on. i remember when html was accepted as the standard language between internet browsers. i remember when i was the only person around with their own website. but times have changed, and now any asshole who wants to pretend they have anything interesting to say can blog to their heart's content and bore their friends stiff. xxx
2. mission.
this is the important one. "what is aspringasfoul?" "what is it for?" i know what it is, and what it's for, and that's what matters. this website is here as a mirror; something for me to look into when i want to see a reflection of myself. there are so many words in my head, so many images, i need a place to put it all. this website is for me in all of its senseless, non-linear glory. the only mission here is to serve as an accurate portrait of the inside of my head.
