Early Days
Looking at this gallery of blog homepages when they were launched triggered the idea to look up the first design of Fimoculous.com. HORRIBLE!!!

Before I "knew" you, I always thought you were crazy, because of how your website looked. (Glass houses/stones, etc., yes.)

A good instance of truth in design!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Even if I still consider myself a web designer, I always say that I never wanted Fimoc to look like a website. Mission accomplished!<br /><br /> <br /><br />

My favorite part is the "open windows in..." toggle. Ah yes. New window or existing window? The grand conundrum of 2001!

is it wrong that since I always only reed your feed that I still kinda thought the site looked like that?

To be perfectly honest, I think the original design is kind of nice. It's when I first stumbled onto your blog. At the time, it was a very memorable design.

You realize this has made you impossible to parody now?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Prediction: This URL goes Tumblr in 2009.
