My Web Experience

My web experience is moderate. I've been spending a lot of time with Wikipedia taking care of some articles about lesser-known video games, as well as things I remember seeing in my life that I rarely hear about, in order to preserve as many parts of their history as possible before they become extinct. I've also been playing with YouTube by uploading my screen-captured recordings of a popular fighting game engine called M.U.G.E.N in action. Other videos I've been uploading are gameplay videos of lesser-known video games, homemade videos and some episodes of very rare and lesser-known television shows.

Some other websites I believe are useful in my opinion are these:

Way Back Machine ( http://www.archive.org/web/web.php ): This website allows you to view a history of different websites, including those that were shutdown. This will help you find what you used to usually see that has been modified or deleted.

eBay ( http://www.ebay.com/ ): This website is one of the most popular websites on the web. It allows you to shop and bid on many things you are searching for. From things that can easily be bought at your local stores to very rare and/or odd things like a mystery gift (which is something random) and an Illinois-shaped cornflake (which is something I saw on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They said it was sold for over $1000!).

AND

Blogger ( http://www.blogger.com/ ): This website, the one you are looking at, is something that allows you to create blogs (or should I say "blog" which is both a noun and a verb). This is my first time creating one, and it looks pretty interesting, especially if you are wanting to create long articles about your opinions and your news. One of the best things about this website is that it's free to register and log in.
