Project Name: Turbulence - Skysenshi@TheRacetrack
URL: http://www.geocities.com/skysenshi
Since: August 3, 1997
After my cousin Firesenshi came up with a shrine to the feisty warrior
of flame, SailorMars, I thought that perhaps it was time to create my
own shrine for my favorite warrior of the wind and the sky, SailorUranus.
If you're wondering, these are characters from the anime Bishoujo Senshi
SailorMoon. Yes, yes, I'm weird. Tell me something I don't know.
This site flourished for two years. Back then, getting 40 unique index
views a day was a big deal for shrinemakers who were catering to a very
limited set of visitors. The site itself is massive—very big for
something whose subject is a single anime character.
Later, I became a Yahoo!Geocities community leader and eventually a suburb
liasion for Geocities Tokyo (Turbulence's original URL format in the days
before Yahoo took over was http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/1700).
Because I was helping out Geocities and HTML newbies, I also incorporated
a tutorial section in here. Turbulence has won me various HTML-related
awards, including the most coveted Yahoo!Geocities Featured Page and the
Yahoo!Geocities Community Leader of the Month award.
Nearly none of the pages inside Turbulence are identical. Whenever I
would create a new section, it would always have a different look because
I believed that I was expressing myself both in words and in designs.
Alas, I have so many versions of that site but I didn't keep track of
them too. The only one remaining is the very last layout I did of it,
right before I abandoned the project. I do have a memorial
for Turbulence's growth that documents some of the older designs.
