I used to have this one website…

I used to host a personal webpage on my laptop called “The Soggy Crouton.” It was used as outlet for all of the free time I had circa January 2004. I was pretty proud of the layout and some of the content was decent, but most of it was crap. The name “Soggy Crouton” was a derivation of a song by Beck, where in the lyrics go something like: “Rockin’ the town like a moldy crouton!”

It was a pretty ridiculous idea to try to host a website from a small Apple iBook and as the site began to see more traffic it became impossible for me to do anything on my computer while the site took hits. It’s been off line for ~2 years now.

Most of the imagery on the homepage was inspired by the artwork of Sam Brown and his works found at http://www.explodingdog.com. I created it in Photoshop using the basic methods described on Sam's awesome webpage. Paul Carpenter was the first to introduce me to the exploding dog site. So with out further ado the following are a few of the front pages I had on the homepage/welcome front page.
