A map of Interstate 5 in Seattle. Marked by red arrows and lines is the full closure of the northbound I-5 mainline between I-90 and Northeast 45th Street in Seattle. Handwritten text on the screen notes the interstate is closed in the northbound directions from July 18th to 21st. Cute animals with WSDOT hard hats occupy various spaces on the screen. Text boxes near them say we're here to soften the blow and is it working?

I wasted $410 recreating a fake website that shows up for 10 seconds of a TV show almost no one remembers This one’s going to be a bit of a tangent from the normal (and infrequent) posting, and probably more scattered, but it’s a thing I worked on recently and I figured I may as well post about it. In 200...

it sucks that this is the current state of things. as far as i can tell, neither platform in their current state feels really "ready" to take on what the old site was.

yeah, that's entirely fair. it's also not exactly friendly to the average non-tech user. instances? migrating accounts? ugh.

_most_ of the people I regularly interact with are there, so that's where I mostly am, but I still come peek at Bluesky and occasionally Post

recreation of the site

Columbus reported that he saw three mermaids on his first voyage to the Americas. On January 4, 1493, according to Purchas, the admiral observed in his log that the female forms "rose high out of the sea, but were not as beautiful as they are represented." The creatures were probably dolphins or manatees, but Columbus, like other mariners of his day, was ready to see new marvels in every latitude. His mind was conditioned by medieval illustrations, fables, travelers' accounts, and astrological prophecies about unseen territories far beyond the familiar coastlines of Europe.

The historian Arciniegas points out that Columbus's favorite book was Cardinal Pierre D'Ailly's Imago Mundi, a preposterous description of the unknown world by an early 15th century "new age" philosopher. If, as D'Ailly claimed, the lands of the "other hemisphere" were inhabited by giants, pygmies, dog-faced savages and Amazons, the seas around these could very likely teem with seductive creatures, half woman, half fish.

none of it's perfect, the font on the header is off, I'm sure some alignments and scalings are messed up, but it's up on GitHub if you want to contribute to my silly and largely pointless project of recreating a website that shows up for two seconds in a 20 year old show no one remembers
