Field notes
The page builds its voice through small domestic and school-age details: a parent asking for the music to be turned down, a friend whose homepage is unfinished, and a warning not to be weird about it at school. It also borrows the conventions of personal sites—visitor counts, moving text, MIDI and a guestbook—while openly undercutting the authority of its own poll.
