“Pixel Galaxy” & “Web City” - My first website (worth mentioning) I started around 1998 or 1999 when I was around 13 or 14. It was developed totally with free/basic software like Netscape Composer, Adobe PageMill and the AppleWorks paint application (long before I used Photoshop for the first time).
It started originally as just “Web City” but I got a little ahead of myself and started expanding to space before I had finished fleshing-out the city part. I also got my hands on a lite version of ‘Painter’ so the graphics style changes quite a bit before I abandoned development.
Visit the archived website. It’s mostly awful except for some of my illustrations. It’s a fun time capsule from my childhood and a more primitive internet.
TheGameBrain.net (Vintage 2001)
Just Googled my name on a whim today and found an old site of mine that I thought was long gone. This is one of my first sites ever, a videogame review site called “The Game Brain” I did with a few friends I met online (I was 15 - 16).
I think this is the site’s 2nd design back about the time I had just gotten my hands on Photoshop 6.0 and was taking classes at the local community college. I had started the site using an unregistered version of Graphic Converter and the free Netscape Composer.
I think we finally closed the site around 2003 or 2004 after many re-designs, some are still viewable on The Wayback Machine: http://goo.gl/E7Ism
Wow!
2008 version of my site archived
I just realized that I could use my Dropbox public folder for a free web host, so I figured I could archive old sites that way. The only down side though is that it doesn’t seem to support javascript.
I’ll have to dig-out some of my oldest sites and get them online for the fun of it.
Zen HTML coding. Might take some learning, but it looks very useful for anyone who codes HTML. I’m going to try it.

I always have to stop and think when setting a border radius in CSS, so I built a tool for it: border-radius.com.

Espresso is part of the $39 MacHeist 3 bundle
You get a ton of apps for a fraction of the price the regularly 59.95€ ≈ $81.68 USD priced Espresso web development application. Well worth the $39 price even if you only care about just Espresso.
Also of note, the game World of Goo (normally $20) is in the bundle and well worth getting.
Espresso is now 1.0 and it's pricy
Espresso 59.95€ ≈ $81.68 USD Regular
Espresso 49.95€ ≈ $68.06 USD with the CSSEdit 2 discount
I love CSSEdit 2 and I’ve been using the Espresso betas since they went public, and while I enjoy it as a source code editor I’m very skeptical of the app being worth the steep price. Espresso isn’t even a replacement for CSSEdit, Espresso has very basic CSS support… I’d keep using CSSEdit for live preview also. The FTP support hasn’t impressed me either.
Comparably TextMate that doesn’t have built-in FTP or editing.
TextMate €39 ≈ $55 without any discounts
Espresso is still cheaper than Coda that IS a full web design package including beefy CSS support and FTP…
Coda $99 without discount
Coda $85 with Transmit discount
While still more pricy than Espresso, the feature completeness of Coda is making me take a 2nd look at Coda… I feel Espresso needs to cost less or at least built-in CSSEdit feature complete.
