Edwin Arbus's 99-theme home page
A deliberately retro personal homepage with a dog to pet, a MIDI jukebox, a San Francisco weather widget, polls, guestbooks, and a career history.
Field notes
The homepage is structured like a personal GeoCities-era portal, with navigation linking biography, dog, work, cool links, email, and a guestbook. Its interactive layer includes a pet counter, a deliberately lopsided three-option poll, MIDI controls, randomized themes, and a San Francisco weather check attributed to Open-Meteo. The visible career chronology runs from Stripe to OpenAI to Cursor to Anthropic, while the footer preserves period details such as Netscape Navigator 4.0, 800x600 resolution, and 256 colors.
