RIP GeoCities 1995-2009…

Probably a bit after the fact, but I thought it was worth mentioning the passing of one of the sites that started all this for me way back on dial-up internet. GeoCities is officially shutting its doors and going offline. This is the same site that was bought by Yahoo back in 1999 for a staggering $3.57 Billion US dollars and at the time, was home to 1.1 million users, I was one of those users, it’s where I launched m first website, one of the many that ended up on geocities before I bought my own domain in 1998. Check out this awesome geocities timeline.

So without repeating all that Alex blogged about the other day, he really covered it all, everything I wanted to say, just head on over to ColoursAndLight for a gander.

In other news, I’ve just updated my theme to the very awesome Thesis 1.5 WordPress theme, and so far I’m liking what I see.
