I remember “Sovereign Sect” as having something to do with skateboard(apparel)[1]. Not totally sure what or how. [1] https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/magazine/the-regro...

It’s the name of the distribution company a bunch of brands are housed under.

> By the end of 1999 an idea that has been talked about for years begins to take seed. The Habitat is formed under the Sovereign Sect in December…The Alien Workshop and its divisions are guided by this philosophy to this day. A Sovereign Sect of individuals with the goal to evolve skateboarding, projects and ideas free from outside pressures or rules.

When I look at the sky and the bricks I get the impression that the photo has “grain”. I wonder if it was actually shot on film.

Early digital camera sensors could be quite noisy.

This is definitely scanned. Digicams quality was terrible at the turn of the century

I miss skinning so much. I was hugely into the scene of making/releasing skins for any/every program that included the ability (and a bunch that didn’t, thanks to unsigned applications). To this day I’m the type to customise everything I own and I despise staring at generic looking programs all day. It’s even worse when it’s stuff like Discord that has a very opinionated style that won’t even respect the small amount…

The skin I made for Methodus Toolz is amazingly still on this page: https://www.methodus2000.com/methodus3/skins.htm

Why does Google do this. There isn't any need for so much data just to link a resource

They're storing information about the app's current state, as well as tracking/analytic info. If you don't care about linking to an identical view and just want to link to a specific location, you can trim the URL down to just the coordinates like this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/@55.9285659,-4.7106362,17z...
