Reminds me a lot of Tobi's Timemachine for firefox which obviously is handling it client-side and less likely to fall over as it break someone else's servers

Just noticed his Twitter account.

Did anyone else close the wrong Metafilter then go, "Why the heck is that music still playing?!"

I think my favorite thing about this is that MySpace just redirects you to the unaltered page, as though he realized nothing he could do would come closer than the real deal.

I'm surprised I had to hit the "Senior Year" button three times before I heard "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Every so often you get a peek at the cutting edge of simulation technology - usually via some PR thing for the air force or NASA. This takes all of those out behind the woodshed and kicks the collective asses.

I saw Waiting for Bieber this morning and it was so depressing I killed myself. Fortunately I just now saw SteamTube and the fact that you have to keep the pressure up or the video and audio cut out revived me.

Time Rift also revived me. I'm double-bevived.

I think Geocities is now the equivalent of looking through thirty year old yearbooks and laughing.

Every now and then someone makes a post like this and I want to favorite ten times, just because it makes me happy.

Did anyone else click the "Geocities is Back" link, and then it times out? Geocities is indeed back. (It did load on the second try, but both times it was still a great joke)

I put the website of the geocitiesizer into the geocitiesizer. Then I put the result into the geocitiesizer. Then I got bored, and made a sandwich.

Hm. I got unicorns and amazons and tie fighters. Disappointing. I always thought of Metafilter as a flaming skull and Calvin urinating on MTV kind of page.

Do NOT point this thing at boingboing.net. Such a wrestling match between 2.0 and 1.0 could have adverse health consequences.
