TV show websites are notoriously bad and comically unreal yet I can't help but be charmed by their hilarious simplicity (and god awful horribleness). Can you imagine if there were giant flashing RED ALERT messages popping up at you? Or if hacking was as simple as just slapping the keys on the keyboard a few times?

Oh my god. This is perfect. Because things on the Internet never really die and because old terrible things on the Internet eventually become wonderful and especially because Geocities was so hilariously awful, One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age is my new favourite website. It posts screenshots of old Geocities pages in all their blinging, blinking, clip art, galaxy background glory. I can't get enough of this. Read More >>

If you sketchily poked on over to The Pirate Bay to do a little downloading of legal, quasi-legal, or outright illegal downloading recently, you may have noticed you can't get through. No, your ISP hasn't started blocking it; it's down for everyone, everywhere. Proxies too. Read More >>
