OK, Everyone... here's a special treat for you. I dug up my archive of the old versions of my website. I mean back before there was a SmartestManEver. Back before I knew jack about Photoshop or Flash. Back when there was just "Benzilla's Den."

Benzilla's Den
This version of my site was created over the summer of 1998 and updated off and on until the summer of 2001. During this time, I was getting better at HTML, and I was dabbling in Photoshop. Much of it was created during the business hours of my early PeopleSoft internship... shh! Don't tell. I've kept it almost entirely original, minus a few changes for faster loading. And it looks exactly how it did back then, except for the link-back-to-this-page at the bottom of the Den itself. I've disabled the links to other parts of the website, so really it's all just for show. Click on the large graphics to proceed through this three-page intro. Enjoy!

The Original Page
Wow... this was a complete accident. I actually came across a saved version of the absolute very first HTML page I EVER wrote. The file was even dated correctly... 10/31/97. Late Halloween night! That was the first time I ever put something on the web, and here, you can actually see it. I had to remake some of the graphics that I no longer had, but it's a very close replica of my original site. Beware... it isn't pretty.
