I've been seeing and feeling a lot of nostalgia for ye old web, and the recent Friday Five about bookmarks prompted me to look at them for the first time in a while. I don't know about anyone else but I used to bookmark a ton of stuff back in the web 1.0 days, and once 2.0 settled over us almost never went back to look at them. But those sites are still there, waiting for me. Well, some of them are. A lot of them are gone forever, with nothing but wayback machine fossils keeping their memory alive.

Since these small websites are nearly impossible to stumble upon nowadays maybe I'll just share them here and see if other people find them interesting too?

The first cool one I came across was the website of the artist Kurt Wenner. He's big thing is Trompe-l'œil, aka optical illusions, and most of them are large enough to walk into. He's also just a very good classical artist. I look at his stuff and think, oh yes, when I have one bajillion dollars he's painting my ceilings.

Anyone else want to share random links from their ancient bookmarks?
