Do you remember Windows 95? How about Windows 96?

A screenshot of the Athena Personal Information Manager (PIM) interface on a Windows 96 desktop. The background is a teal color, and the window displays an agenda for Friday, June 28, 2019. The agenda includes sections for Calendar, Messages, and Tasks, indicating no appointments, unread messages, or active tasks for the day. The left side features icons for Contacts, White Pages, Calendar, Messages, and Tasks. The taskbar at the bottom shows the time as 8:51 PM and includes the Start menu labeled "Athena PIM."

It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0

Invasive tracking and pay-for-play search engines has broken the internet. It’s time to reclaim our independence with the Small Web.

Promo image of a Nintendo Switch 2. The right joy-con is detached and the console is upright as if it's in tabletop mode. The screen shows the logo for the console.
