augiemania that swagger I got it I wear it like a coat

Before I begin with the celebration, I’d like to give a brief history of augiemania (not the friday the 13th crap which has been regurgitated over and over again [which I should put back on the about page...]) as a website in itself.

I bought augiemania.com a few years back as an alternative to carlomontagnino.com (which now just redirects here). CM.com was my “bloggy/portfolio/stuffy” blog where is posted all the silly photoshops and crap. I also learned a lot about wordpress on it.

I need to get away from CM.com so I began using augiemania as a big crazy non-dynamic HTML website where graphics like this:

were dancing in my background. It had links to all my silly things and I felt very free using it.

As I began finding myself, on the internet and in reality, I decided the CM.com front was gayyo and I turned it into a shitty blog that was more like your girlfriend when compared to her younger sister. I think I just hated having my name as a URL…

augiemania began boring me (like any web site I have ever made after 3 months) so I decided that I had to settle down and just make it a blog, for maintenance sake. (I was sick and tired of ridiculous HTML coding and redundant CSS [i am very unorganized at points].)

After a few theme changes I finally stuck with my SelfishJerk theme (v1.0 available for download!!!) and decided to post about whatever. I am not a blogger, nor do I ever intend on learning how to be (although DAPS may challenge that ideal [actually, it already has].)

Anyway enough about that crap. After the jump the celebration continues…

For the 200th post of this site that maybe 7 people look at a day, I would like to present my 5 fondest moments in augiemania history.

5- Paris Hilton

I made a bunch of Paris Hilton collages and posted them. The following month I posted the entire Larry King Live interview w/ her. Epic Fap.

Larry King Live interview (though I think the vids were taken down…shame!)

4- Crazy Site designs that lasted like a week
Like the one where there was a weird ski mask and crazy iframe business going on. here is a remnant of that long-deleted piece of crap.

3- My facial hair thing
While completely uninteresting to all, it kept the site moving along by means of fodder. all in all no harm done!

2- Selfish Jerk Theme release
Yeah, it’s just a theme, but I’m damn proud of it…I wish that the wordpress theme site wasn’t so gay so I could distribute it better.
(seriously, it’s a bullshit system used to “avoid spam”)
here’s the link to the release notice.

1- Cyborg-Zombie watch
Yes, the following link was my final for my web design class at CSI. The ink has been on the site a while, but I wanted to spot light it here. It marks a point in my life when I was very stoned and very paranoid. The fears expressed are genuine, it is not a parody, it is serious fear. Obviously now, I’m not as scared.
From a technical standpoint, the site is horrible (eww tables!) and looks like shit, but this one was more for the content. (please note that the final for my flash class the following year was a more fun look at the zombie problem. JAMES! I WANT MY SWF FILE!!!!)
