Freezepop Squares
This little script divides the browser window into several squares, which then begin to pulsate. If you scroll, you can see controls to toggle color cycling.

Al's DHTML digital clock
This digital clock has an LCD-look to it and supports an interface to dynamically change the output. Displays day, date and time in 24-hour or am/pm time format. Coming soon is a toggleable chime on the hour, ticking sounds, alarm and backlight. Click the interface buttons and watch the display change. All graphics were created in Photoshop CS.

Al's Virtual Garage Sale
I wanted to unload a bunch of outdated hardware, so I brought it in to the Microsoft campus where there is no shortage of geeks! I quickly put this site together and advertised in the company newsletter. As items were sold, I would flag the images to fade out. The fade is performed by IE in real time using a visual filter. The description window follows the mouse position, and is pretty speedy. I had to check the browser size to make sure the description doesn't move off the screen, so it can reposition itself.

Note: This site was created years before Firefox, and only works properly with Internet Explorer

Alan's Geocities website
This early website is a perfect example of what NOT to do with a web page!

Mostly this page was a playground for experimenting with scripts. You will see a lot of age calculators, popups, motion-activated sounds, image maps, and just about every other staple of Javascript programming.

This was created when the web was reaching fledgling popularity, when flashy background textures and Java applets were the order of the day. This was my platform when learning HTML and web technologies. Some scripts and information have fallen into disarray over the years, but has its nostalgic purposes. It at least helps me realize how far I've come!

Geocities was an independant company offering free web hosting with a whopping 2MB of storage! Geocities has since been purchased by Yahoo, which now innundates visitors with popup ads.
