Way back on April 20th, 1999 I registered my first domain name, Signalnoise.com. I started my time in the industry a mere 6 months prior to that, so this website has been traveling with me throughout the duration of my career. It’s gone through many transformations in both design and identity before it became the blog platform it is today.
It’s come a long way since I started noodling though graphic software and programming, and to celebrate the 11th birthday of the site here is a hilarious look back at a few of my previous website attempts over the past 11 years. Most of these are from the late 90s and early 2000’s. Enjoy :)
You registered it on 4/20? :D Nerdy stuff :D Happy Birthday!
That’s what I call evolution. Happy Birthday!
HBD 420′ :) just passed 4:20pm here at budapest

Thanks for sharing your previous designs! My favorite is the mecha layout but I’m partial to the pixel layout too.
Happy birthday!
Those pictures bring back so many memories… Thanks for sharing :)

Anywayz, your plans for world domination are going much smoother…
Happy birthday all the same:-)
Wow, you really are a man of the times. Those web designs are so perfect of the period. Great to look back to help us think of what is to come.
Congrats on 11 years! Wow, you’ve really come a long way.
I’ll definitely be putting something together for the occasion.
Happy Birthday… just think, you are almost an unruly teenager now….
I loved seeing the incarnations of the site.
I noticed you have an obsession with Transformers and robots :P
Joyeux anniversaire!
Thanks so much for the kind wishes, everyone. This website might be 11, but it still has the maturity level of a 7 year-old punk.
Congratulations James! Keep up the good work! :D
