This is TERRIBLY embarrassing, but fascinating. Last updated February 28, 1998, when I was “13 years old (almost 14)”, my first personal homepage. It’s missing the background and images, but is still quite the time capsule.

OxiClean is now on my growing list of “things I’m an unofficial spokesperson for,” which also includes:
magic eraser
