We’re heard of plenty of sorrowful instances of
zombification of abandoned personal pages and outright vandalism or kettling but we had not encountered until now, courtesy of
MetaFilter, with the discovery of the
moribund Yahoo! GeoCities page of the musical theatre composer and impresario (
previously) last updated in 2003 and restore it to full-functionality as a NeoCity. Though some elements, like the
title, seem to verge on gentle parody—but who could say for sure as
websites at that time were vehicles for confession and reflection rather than self-promotion, it’s a privilege to page through the newspaper clippings, dream diary, home recipes and so on.
