About Me

Hi!!! Welcome to my little corner of the World Wide Web!
My name is Juan and I make web pages. I wrote this one by hand in Notepad, one <TABLE> at a time. No WYSIWYG editors here, thank you very much. |
Things I like:
- HTML (obviously)
- My 56k modem (when nobody picks up the phone)
- Surfing the Information Superhighway
- YOU, for visiting!!!
Now with a guestbook! Sign it!

 Way back when |
 Snow, mountains, short sleeves |
 When the steak has your name on it |
 Top deck of the tour bus |
 That way |
 Someone always does the bunny ears |
 Thinking about tables. The HTML kind. |
 Night out |
What you made possible
Everything I build today is built on what you started.
-
Websites for local businesses
Every one starts the way yours did: an empty file and a first tag. These days it's a <div> instead of a <table>. Mostly.
-
Apps and sign-in portals
Dashboards, booking tools, places for people to log in. Fancier plumbing, same idea: put something useful on the web.
-
This page
Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No framework, so you can read every line. Go on, view the source.
A note from Alex
You were writing <table> layouts by hand in 1999 while the rest of us didn't know what a browser was.
Every site and app I build today stands on what you taught me was possible.
This page was built by hand too. Mostly.
Love, Alex
