The website of the Nintendo founder's family office. It..is just beautifully designed, and a homage to the original game consoles and the entire art form of PC gaming when it started.

Hatshoe.org

Sadly it no longer exists.

It appeared to be some kind of augmented reality game leaving trails of (very) difficult clues to follow. The website itself used hand-written pages that appeared to have been scanned in and posted as images (some as image maps that linked to other pages depending on which hand-written words you click on).

Some of it was very funny, some of it was quite spooky, and none of it made any kind of sense to me. It was great.

There's a wiki that documents the various pages here: https://hat-shoe.fandom.com/wiki/Hatshoe_Wiki

And here's the homepage from the 25th of August, 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110825015858/http://www.hatsho...

Kevin Brown's mathpages [0] are really something else. I keep falling into them again and again when trying to solve very different technical problems. Each time, he surprises me with several crucial insights that were already there 20 years ago. The wonky math equations are a lovely plus.

https://jrwr.io -- It's my personal website with a fun "fake" terminal with a custom command set with a set of challenges to solve to gain more access levels in the machine. Its been fun to watch the commands come in.

Would be nice if clicking the off button closed the tab

That is kinda hard to do in modern browsers, My main want is to blink the HDD light when you are typing, just never got around to it.

Wow, I didn't know you could load assets from a chain on the web. That's pretty cool.

I really want to learn distributed systems stuff like that this year: Blockchain/ipfs/ p2p / etc.
