I saw this place when I was in Malaysia.
All I could think of were weblogs. It overwhelmed my thoughts and consumed my mind each time I saw it. I’m too far gone.
Cool blog, dude.

A lazy Sunday. Rain cascades down the window. A cup of tea rests by my side. Jazz plays. I’m exploring personal websites.
Oooooh yeah!

A Beautiful Web
To the tune of Devo’s Beautiful World.
It’s a beautiful web we log on to,
A realm of quiet art–
Handcrafted pages and thoughtful words
Where each voice leaves its mark.
Makes me want to say…
It’s a beautiful web,
It’s a beautiful web,
It’s a beautiful web
For you, for you, for you.
It’s a great time for creation,
A moment to truly share;
Mindful code and written dreams
All built with honest care.
Makes me want to say…
It’s an uplifting space,
It’s an uplifting space,
It’s an uplifting space
For you, for you, for you.

Hey, hey!

Makes me want to say…
It’s a beautiful web,
It’s a beautiful web,
It’s a beautiful web
For you, for you, for you.
It’s not for me.
(It’s a beautiful web) For you
(It’s a beautiful web) For you
(It’s a beautiful web) For you
(It’s a beautiful web) Not me–
(It’s a beautiful web)…
