Since hearing about Wiby, I've been excited to poke around and have a look at the sites I might find using it. After finding a couple of pages that I just loved - due to aesthetic, content, or just Cause - I decided to do a little Wiby blog to document some sites I really like, and might want to check back on in the future.
I cannot really describe to you exactly why I love this site so much. There's no reason. I am not particularly interested in calculators. But something about the look of this site is so perfect to me, exactly the kind of aesthetics I love in old websites. It's just a little rough around the edges in the perfect way that makes it feel so obviously like a hand-coded passion project. I'm intrigued by the mention of old calculators specifically for pre-decimal Sterling too, so I guess I will be poking around at the content here haha.
I have no idea what Crimson Skies is, and I'd never heard of it before I was put onto this site by Wiby, but I do love the aesthetic of it. The alternate-history info, and the State-Countries they've come up with, is super interesting, and I just have to admit, the look of the site drew me in. The concept is very interesting and I appreciate the amount of detail put into it. Definitely a site for poking around at.
The intro of this page being written 'in character' for the Empire just really immediately drew me in. I love the look of it, the tone of it, everything. It feels very of its time, and I do love that. I haven't poked around at the essays and calculations, but I am intrigued by knowledge of their existence. Why not come back a few times just to poke around a little and read a handful of things? Either way, fun to have stumbled on!
I love this website. The design, the layout, the premise. The way it's written is so fun and well-themed, and interesting too. I've seen so many Furby mods, but not much which shows the inner workings of the Furby. I just had so much fun poking around this little site. RIP Toh-Loo-Ka, your death has served a noble cause - namely, online entertainment for strangers.
This shit's fucking self-explanatory. It's a motherfucking website. Shit is simple and clean. Fucking king of minimalism. Bit aside, coming across this website did give me a little chuckle, and reminded me to not worry too much about my pages being super complex or involved. Sometimes simplicity is the motherfucking key.
This website is seriously just so fucking cool. So many pictures of the cosmos, all of them super awesome, and all of them with an explanation from NASA astronomers! They have an archive going back all the way to June 1995, so there's a photo for my birthday! You should go have a look and try to find what your picture is too.
Technically Wiby booted me onto the "Disney Animated Films Timeline" page, but to be honest, I've had a lot of fun poking around at the various links in here. I don't actually know about a bunch of the stuff they have here, but I do adore the really retro design of the page, and it's got some interesting stuff, so I'm glad I found it!
