    1. looking at this css style to make websites look like Windows 98 and mainly I am thinking about how usable it is. clicky things look clicky. labels are near the things they refer to. related things are in a box, not just indicated by subtle spacing changes jdan.github.io/98.css/

    thinking about the visual presence of the gray, which feels overpowering now. i guess that is because nowadays people want the UI to be background, not foreground. it's no longer The Object You Are Grappling With, it is The Adornment To The Content.
