The 1997 Version of “Pomomusings”
April 16, 2007
Our family was one of the first in Chehalis, Washington to sign up for “the internet.” Before that, I had been playing some games on a few local BBSs, and I couldn’t quite grasp what the internet was, nor why I would need it. My buddy kept telling me “Dude, it has EVERYTHING on it. You can find EVERYTHING.” I didn’t understand why I would need to find everything. How things have changed…
I had my first website in 1994, when I was a freshman in high school. The guy who ran our local internet company came over and showed me how to do it and I was off into the wonderful world of HTML. Unfortunately, the earliest version of my “web site” the Wayback Machine has is the 1997 version. I think it will still give many of you a laugh. Even the name is funny; I was trying to set myself apart from those people who had “home” pages, so I created myself a “house” page. To see an early version of my “web presence” - check out Adam B. Cleaveland’s House Page.

My favorite part: under movie reviews, “My Best Friend’s Wedding” COMING SOON! Adam, I am still waiting for that review.

What a hot page! Extra points go to those who can spot the picture of Adam in uniform working at Wal-Mart.

So jealous. I can’t find my old 1996 homepage at all… It would have revealed my love of many things grunge…

Dude, that is funny. What a great memory to hold onto.
My favorite part in your pictures link: “Spending some good quality time up in Mercer Island with girls!!! ”
Priceless, what it must feel like to be 17 again.

The tragic thing is that some folk still make web pages like that. :/

Oh, my. That is the Adam that I remember! :) I never knew that you had a website back then, nor did I know that you worked at Walmart! That must have been after I graduated… Thanks for posting this- it made me smile!
