These are sorted reverse chronological. Newest first, and I tend to like my newer ones better anyway.
"Milling a 90s Website With PageMill"
(February 9, 2026)
PageMill was a Web page builder from Adobe in the late 90s, and I had just such a need for one around the time I wrote this. This one hits all my gooey spots: old Web goofery, trying to be creative with old software, you got the history end of things. Good stuff. Absolutely the kinda thing I like better than anybody.
"Five More Neat Things From the Somnolescent Archives"
(December 2, 2025)
One for the Cammy nostalgia pile, a bit of rabbit hole recursion. somnolescent.net is a big site, as I'm sure you're aware, and just like this page is meant to spotlight some of my writing that I still really enjoy, this post was meant to show off some of the group's hard work over the previous seven years of making sites and nerding out about stuff. I'm still very fond of everything here. Pages about my friends are some of my favorites to go back to.
"Cammy vs. the PhotoCam III: This Has Gotten Stupid"
(October 7, 2025)
This one wraps up a six year on-and-off battle to get a working AOL-branded digital camera from the late 90s. It's a phenomenally goofy story, Redditors sent me stuff for it (the only good thing Redditors have ever done), and you get some crunchy nice fall photos for your troubles. Well, my troubles. You didn't do shit.
"Catching 'Em All, and How to Do It"
(August 12, 2025)
One of my sillier posts, I set out back in 2023 to truly complete the Pokédex in Pokémon Blue (the 3DS VC release, if that matters to you). Why's it so damn difficult to actually pull off? And did you know you can tell the guard on Cycling Road to fuck right off and he can't stop you? Glitches, stupid names for Pokémon, and some audience participation with the journal meme at the end. Fill it out for me, I'm curious.
"The Majestic Serenity of Late 1990s Network TV Ads"
(June 4, 2025)
As a little birthday celebration, I scrubbed through a batch of also 26-year-old network TV ads for cars, processors, grocery stores, and fast food places and picked out some of my favorites. If orangeade sunset shots of the ocean in VHS quality with new age music behind them gets you going too, I dedicate this page to you.
"3-9-7-1-5: Exploring the Expanded Conet Project Boxset"
(April 1, 2024)
Conspiracy spergs and indie rock spergs have been able to come together for almost thirty years now over a big boxset of strange, computer-generated airchecks of coded military activity called The Conet Project. At great expense, I got a complete, boxed copy of it with an extra disc of possible alien activity. Paranoia enjoyers indulge!
"First Draft: Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"
(September 18, 2023)
Speaking of Conet, here's probably its most famous sample. For a while (and maybe still in the future), I was writing about the early versions of albums and what it took to get them over the finish line. This is the First Draft to end all First Drafts, a look at the gigantic reissue boxset for Wilco's fantastically-fractured 2001 art rock album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. It's seven discs of material! Do you have reservations, and are they about me and my post?
"The Clever Feat of PNG Optimization"
(October 27, 2020)
Seeking shorter and shorter page load times for my sites, I was the first in the group to discover and get really into the idea of PNG optimization, that being you can shrink a PNG with zero quality loss just by running it through an optimization tool. Like magic! It might very well be magic if you're a less nerdy sort than I am, but I still find this stuff hugely fascinating, and this is an old favorite of mine.
"End it Someday: Looking Back on With the Lights Out"
(November 23, 2019)
An anniversary lookback at the big nasty rarities and demos boxset from Nirvana, a band you might've heard of, and a set that set the way I listen to music and obsess over outtakes and recording details for life. I've debated showing this to some Nirvana people around places over time, because I actually still really like it, but I worry the teenage edgelord writing in spots wouldn't fly too well out there on the greater Internet. Gun-shy thanks to Redditors being Redditors, I guess. You get it though, dear site enjoyer.
"Neocities and a Lack of Passion"
(September 2018)
No list of Cammy posts is complete without the one that still gets me emails, comments, backlinks, and entire rebuttal essays to this day. An angry sperg on Neocities puts it clear: share what you love and make this worth both our whiles, or leave. I don't usually write like this anymore, but it still rings true to me. Death to irony-poisoned bullshit. What you love that you think no one else wants to see, I want to see.
