Why HN links it

HN readers link Will Leinweber's homepage as a retro, Geocities-style personal site with music, and as a playful example of old-web design. Comments mostly point to it for fun rather than for writing.

  5. This is amazing, reminds me of a colleague's personal site: http://bitfission.com/ . He built it as a bit of de-stressing after a really long work week many years ago dealing with a major AWS outage. I believe he even combed through the geocities archives to be historically accurate.
