Written retrospectively for the 2004 archive.

A thing I still like about making websites is how quickly a small idea can turn into something I can show someone. A line of text becomes a heading. A link takes you to a page that didn’t exist a few minutes before.

Looking back at this part of the archive, I think there’s a lot to be said for finishing a small idea. I’d rather have a page that does one thing clearly than keep tinkering with a bigger plan I never get to share.
