I love finding these random, old websites since the vast majority are just gone. It’s a bummer that the family members’ individual pages are no longer active, but this just had a time-capsule kind of charm to it.
I hope they had consent from the children to post that personal information online!
A nice picture of Patti Smith performing in 2003:

Aw yeah the dad goes to punk and rock shows. How have we not yet discussed his picture of Lemmy from Motorhead?

Elise’s early website (under <1999) is vintage web work. Even got on the Discovery Channel! We don’t make websites that cool anymore.
The individual pages are still there, just not linked to on the main page. You can find the URLs by looking on archive:

- https://littler.net/resume/donnaresume.htm
- (the kids never had their own pages)
I miss when websites were fun.
Geocities and angelfire were really fun to peruse and find the weirdest stuff
Social media enshittified so much. This gave me flashbacks to the stuff I built when I was teaching myself HTML in high school.
Homestarrunner just did a 2025 throwback to exactly this.

Thanks - I always forget about that!

Lolol
Also, I was out on the Mall with them for fireworks.
The Littlers have great taste in music. Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Buzzcocks, Misfits and more at the 9:30 Club. I could hang with these people.
All those old memories are kinda neat.
Didn’t expect to see so many of Donna’s bikini pics.
Cold that day
Early summer on the NC beaches can be a bit brisk with the wind. But they’re the best beaches. :D
I dunno, man.
They definitely labeled that folder as a beach vacation.
