Radiohead's first website

http://www.radiohead.com/Archive/Site1/smallthought2.html

Thoughtfully, they have archived all their old sites (i didn't knwo they existed) on their new site, here. And teh first one, all i clicked on before I got too excited and had to share it, is this. Amazing rabbit hole they created while making Ok Computer appropriately enough. It's so amazing to think they were doing this kind of thing in the 90's (1997 thanks wiki), I feel like I might actually be looking at a proper bit of internet history. It must have bene so exciting for some people when it was all new, i'd love to see how people first experimentally used it, before it became so user-friendly and templated. I can see why 80's computer geeks have nostalgia for the old times. However, now we have memes! I can't get over how incredible they are, an inside joke... WITH THE WORLD. The english-speaking world at least. Or did they have them too? I wonder how I can find some really old blogs like this one. The internet... such an intricate beast. Jesus i ramble, i'm a terrible blogger!
