About Me
Heya! I’m Nexl.
I survived Y2K and somehow got stuck there.
I still like the old way of using the internet. Personal websites, weird little corners, old games, old hardware and the feeling that you could just make a website because you felt like it.
I like old technology too. Casio watches, PlayStation, old Pentiums, Macs, iPods, QWERTY phones and old operating systems.
I skate, I go to the woods and mountains with my family, spend too much time in the garden and usually forget where I left my phone. I’ve been skateboarding since 1996. I don’t compete. I don’t care much about rules, just ride. Maybe the only rule: If it rains, I draw. If it doesn’t, I skate. Both shut everything else out for a while.
Yeah, I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember too.
And there’s always music.
I’ve been listening to some of the same bands for more than 25 years. The Offspring, Pennywise, Social Distortion, Deftones, Liquido, Guano Apes, Gorillaz, so the oldest ones. Then Rise Against, CKY, Propagandhi, Evergreen Terrace, Counterparts and plenty of others. Some songs are attached to memories I still remember after three decades.
Music, skateboarding, drawing and the internet are all different things, but somehow they ended up pointing in the same direction.
Then I found this treasure, Neocities.
The old internet wasn’t gone after all.
So here I am.
If you ended up here and thought “hey, I get it”, send me an email.
