Rest in Peace, Geocities

I’ve written about the death of Geocities previously, but I thought it only fitting that I post again about the late, great Web-hosting service on this day, its final day of existence. Tweets about the service are lighting up the Twittersphere, and I’m feeling all kinds of nostalgic—what I wouldn’t give to see the original version of SunsetStrip/6908, which is unfortunately not included in the Internet Wayback Machine—so, why not? Here’s my final Geocities page, as I left it in 1999.
