Its trace patterns are a familiar diversion. Yet there is still work to do and so I (too soon) yield the object of fascination in favor of the task at hand. <p>Picking up where I left off, I follow a brush stroke with a series of bits. The numbers, letters, and symbols fall quickly into place. <p>The Internet is like a childhood exercise, fascinating, fun and not yet fully explored. <p>Last Geek Standing has been a website since 2002 and it retains a certain amount of that same charm. It has aspirations and goals but wanders through itself like a kid caught between Ritalin and corn syrup. Is that a reflection of its parents, peers, or overall society? The answer is probably a mixture of everything to tell the truth. The World Wide Web has taken many cues from the advertising business in recent years. In this arena, companies dance a different tune every couple minutes in a vain desire to be ‘hip’, ‘cool’, and current. It is a reactionary impulse and websites gather and frolic to play that same game. <p>Pulling back and viewing the playground from outside its confines does lead to some questions: what would it be like if we did not gather to play that same reactionary game? What would change if we played our own? What if things were planned? <p>Last Geek Standing will try to help explore and release this coiled proposition. <p>LGS will continue to offer all of its original content but now we will also be seeking to assist others with unique services that focus on the process and its subsequent fruition. Contact us if you are interested in our distinctive web design and expect to find more of us next time you visit as we update and expand to fill our own vacuous mass. In the meantime, check out our links below and find out what kind of trouble we can get ourselves in. <p>Jeremy Platt <br>LGS Web Producer <br> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin user = "jeremy"; site = "lastgeekstanding.com"; document.write('<b><a href=\"mailto:' + user + '@' + site + '\">'); document.write(user + '@' + site + '</a></b>'); // End --> </SCRIPT> </font></b>
