The mullet is alive and well in AFL

It's just gross to me, and I watch AFL... But what gets me is the 80s porno moustaches. So gross.

I feel like someone was looking for a reason to implement this style of website. If it wasn't already, this type of website is now officially uncool. Apple will probably go back to plain text for their next one.

What would "business in front, party in the back" even be for a website?

I'm guessing hero images and push requests and scroll-driven animations on the landing, but all it would take would be one click to crash through to some much quieter blue links and black text-on-grey background (green text-on-black for the hardcore) personal homepage world?

   Fire up that text
   Another round of links
   Javascript for what?

Frontend is handcrafted html, no css. backend is a text file, no database, that gets modified using a perl script generated by reading from /dev/urandom.

I just returned from a long work trip in Australia and it is indeed alive and well, and it's everywhere. Like mustaches and bell bottoms, fashion and style choices from long ago have come full circle.

The amount of effort that went into this is crazy. Love it
