Awful dark in here...

Back when the Web was relatively new, I whipped up a couple of sites for personal use. I tried to apply some consistency to the pages - something that was sorely lacking on many sites at the time. Using frames was one of the questionable design decisions I made. Other than that, I think they'd stand up today as examples of fairly good design compared against the other sites of the time.

One 'rule' of Web design came to me from Web Pages that Suck - sites with a black background and colour scheme are pretentious. So I'm not sure why I chose the black theme here. I think it's going to change soon. Not because it's prententious - more because it's depressing. I can see a lot of angry screeds with this grey-text-on-black-background theme. And that's not what I'm about, is it?
