my enthusiasm for the web has been reignited by the return of my favorite online event, weird web october!

Weird Web October

you can find all of my weirdwebpages on my site, and you can follow everyone's pages with this handy RSS feed (powered by the octothorpe protocol, which recently celebrated its first stable release)

last year, we collectively made ~260 fun little webpages for you to visit. this year, I hope you make a fun little webpage, especially if you've never tried it before

playhtml

speak.js demo

collectibles.js - Maximillian Laumeister
