At the Nin event in LA March 28th, the organizer and coordinator of the event Steven Reigns was kind enough to give a shout out for our site in the program along with putting up two photo views of the site in the introductory slide show to the event along with a picture of this writer when she first met Nin in person at the Celebration weekend. I don’t have that photo handy since I am traveling so have captured a photo from I Ching Expert Extraordinaire, Adele Aldridge’s marvelous memory of Nin on our Celebrations page.
Steven also showed a picture of amazon com from those early days of the web when the style de jour was flashing banners and lurid colors! He showed a picture of the amazon.com in the early days taken from an article by Nicholas Carlson entitled What The Internet Looked Like in 1996 (he also wrote Marissa Mayer and the Fight to Save Yahoo)
Because of Steven’s kind words, this site realized it owed a shout out to the young designers (who we found when they designed the web site for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago) and so today we posted it on Imurg minutes ago, please if you enjoy this site…go to http://imgur.com/gallery/M4K7ZwP and click share to send this info on!
This site was created pre-Google, 17 years, 8 months, 23 days ago.by Xeno Media in Chicago. First copyright@ 1998. Google white space not yet the industry standard (when Google site launched Nov 11, 1998 the web standard style was screaming banners. No white space. But the Nin site was designed before Google brought white space to the internet. Kudos to the Xeno crew from a grateful client who only insisted that our site have no ads or flashing banners.
