I know I said I'd stay away from web design, but...

1995. The internet. Everybody wants to be there but nobody can figure out why (cough...twitter...), and every web site is an adventure in metaphorical nagivation: "Come, take a trip through our virtual office! You can even stop at the water fountain and drink some virtual water! It's the future!"

Then sites like Amazon and eBay prove that the internet can be used for more than cutesy tricks and the "virtual office" becomes a thing of the past. Right?

Brill Publications proves that there are still some misguided web designers out there who haven't upgraded from Internet 0.5. It's sad, but it makes you wonder how long it will be before vintage internet goes into style and people start deliberately designing Geocities-era web content.

Anyway, at least it's better than Havenworks...
