   This is the oldest piece of original artwork on my hard drive: July 17, 1996 — almost 14 years old!

   This was my very first website: the entire thing was image map.

   I created the initial rendering (bg, planets and asteroids) in TruSpace. The lens flare was carefully crafted in Photoshop 2.5LE.

   (Bonus points for naming each of the Photoshop filters used.)

   PWN. Was the title a play off of "Bobby's World"?

   Rogie: Maybe? I love that even back then I was having a hard time explaining the point of my website...

   Jesse, tell me what each of the elements are on the page. I'd love to get in your head at age 14.

    Also, it reminds me of the intro to the tv show "3rd Rock from the Sun".

    This is so old, 3rd Rock must have copied me.

    Rogie: First, you should know that in '96 I was 19. With that out of the way, here goes:

    Dare you click - I can't remember what that actually brought up. I know it was in the days of having a welcome screen for your website (who the heck started that trend!?).

    Lick a stamp - Contact form; the asteroid was rendred in TruSpace and I created the satellite dish with the marquee and gradient tools. I'm pretty sure the lens flare was from an early version of the Alien Skin Eye Candy filter pack.

    Eye scream parlor - Image gallery; I think the television was a pre-fab TruSpace object I downloaded from a local BBS. I'm sure you caught the "Twirl" filter on the screen.

    Shoot the moon - This was a link to the website of the company I was working for at the time: Blue Moon Training in East Chatham, NY.

    Sun stopper - I can't quite remember what this was about; I think Blue Moon was starting a local web directory called Eclipse web, so it was a link to that. I'll see if I can dig up some of the old Eclipse logos I designed; pretty sure they were older than this piece of work.

    I wonder if this entire thing could be pulled off with CSS3, including rad twirl effect and lens flare. Ahh, a challenge.

    @Phil good call, but the seed is planted. Too late, so sorry Trent.
