just remembered i have this thing: gc.pablomurad.com. almost 14k old-school backgrounds and textures (13,807 tiles, to be exact) that were sitting in random folders, so i threw them on a page so i'd stop losing them. click a tile, it becomes the page background, download it or leave it. best viewed at 1024x768, under construction forever, as it should be. https://gc.pablomurad.com/ #retroweb #webdesign #oldweb

My tacky themes in a repo. 41 of them, plain HTML and CSS, based on real websites from 2002 to 2009: studio portfolios, splash pages, agencies that shipped one screen and called it a site.
Most of those sites are gone now. I love this stuff, the grey backgrounds, the 11px type, a photo sitting where a hero section would go today, so I wanted it somewhere people can use it.

I hoard tiled backgrounds from the old web, so I put the pile online: 13,807 tiles on eight shelves, from Dusk Cabinet to Ember Script.
Click a tile and the page wears it. Save the ones you like and use them on your own site.
A pile, not a museum. No guestbook.
