Continuing in the fine tradition of lolcats and lolrus, you should check out the LOLThulu thread on Isometric. I’ve posted an image, as has everyone I know and respect.

Space Ninja History
I first got online in the early 90s. While some of my friends were goofing around on BBS‘s, I was using my dad’s Compuserve account to post icons I had designed for Windows 3.1. Later on, in 1995, I had dial-up Internet access at home, and a friend had shown me Joe the Circle, one of the first webcomics. This really kick-started my interest in web design, and I had a website on Geocities that year. The idea for Yellow Number Five was born around this time. I graduated high school in 1996, and my early website (which was already coded by hand) moved to Xoom, and then later to my first ISP, SpiritOne, when I started working at Egghead.

Hahahahaha… Oh man. I found this while looking to see if Miles had updated Isometric. The link was labeled Disclaimer For Potential Employers. Great stuff, Miles. I think all of our sites should carry disclaimers which insult the reader!
Best. Fanmail. Ever.

Hee, hee. Best. Fan mail. ever. Must gloat!
Also, I had one of those Horrible Revelations I live for: Isometric only has one kind of joke. It’s simple exaggeration, blowing things up to giant size.
For example, take the idea of bread. Make an Isometric. The giant sentient yeast that took over the world!! OH GOD THE BREAD IS OUT OF CONTROL SAVE US JESUS!! IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT MORTALS FOR FORGETTING THE WAYS OF THE UNLEAVENED. etc.
It’s dead simple, almost mechanical. I also reverse it sometimes, shrink things down. Take the idea of Godzilla. OH NO GODZILLA IS ATTACKING! What, again? This always happens when you leave the lid of the Giant Reptile Treats! Hey, don’t get on my case when you can’t even pick up your socks off the floor! Why, you! Are you calling me a slob, when you– etc.
