Felt a little weird and seen reading your first goal because I, too, was a super user of those websites at basically the exact same time and I used to make doofy little websites with my self-taught HTML and CSS for, idk, stuff like my LJ avatars for different fandoms.

ANYway I have made two salon websites in the last 5 years with Squarespace, so I know you are very capable based on our twin resumes! Go forth and discover what that prior experience means for simple web design today.

Very encouraging! I wonder if I can still find the very edgy “Anti-War / Anti-Bush” image I had tiled on my Neopets profile page.

Also, I just remembered I never responded to your espresso martini Q. I haven’t ordered one in ages so I can’t weigh in with too much confidence. BUT! I do know that both Corvino and the Campground make them the “right” way and still get plenty of orders for them (even if they aren’t on-menu).

I love Haterade and if you start a Patreon consider me subscribed! Also, I'm sorry I made you watch Jack Frost.

Thank you for doing this because like all your writing it is interesting. And glad to hear you sound less ambivalent about your art than when you started Haterade.

Thanks for all of your support, Jason! It’s been really motivating through the extended crisis of “what am I doing here and to what gruesome end?”

Have you looked into Glitch dot com for website? Anil Dash on Twitter is always promoting the capabilities and it’s free. It does seem like an easy website design platform, and I always think I wish I had need for one

Now what professor would that be? (Sarcasm alert)

Ha! I know it’s good advice, I am just lazy and bad at business.
