![]() ![]() We all have that friend that has everything and you never know what to get her/him, but today is your lucky day! You can buy them nothing! Nothing is precious, simple and sacred! Once the pack is open, they will be able to experience the gift of nothing, absolutely nothing! They will be able to say they got nothing for their birthday, and you will feel prouder than ever!īasically, this product is just empty packaging with nothing inside of it, and considering the entire point of selling a product is to sell something, selling nothing whatsoever is a very strange choice to make. The seller’s product description is probably the most sarcastic thing I have ever read: ![]() We start off our tour of weird and confusing products with this “Gift Of Nothing For The Person Who Has Everything”. Immediately after I clicked the “please” button, my first product appeared: Product #1: …Nothing? That’s right, nothing. When I first entered the site, the following screen greeted me: As its name suggests, this website sends you to eBay pages with the weirdest, most confusing products being sold on the internet at the simple click of a button. We’ll start the series off with one of the most extensive sites on the useless web:. With that being said, on to our first post… Today’s Website: Sell me something weird or confusing! (I will not be covering any websites with mature content in this series.) However, if you decide to check the database out yourself, please note that some of the websites in the database contain mature content. ![]() Because of this, I’ve decided to start this series of blog posts, with each post chronicling my experience on a different useless website!Īll of the websites in this series will come from, one of the most well-known “useless website” databases. This “useless web” is extremely hilarious and entertaining to me, but most other internet users usually ignore it. Here’s the thing:I spend WAY too much time on the internet, and sometimes, my internet wandering takes me to the weirdest and most useless places on the world wide web. That said, you can check out the video here.Introduction: Why write a series on useless websites? ![]() The quality of the video is pretty bad, if I’m honest, and a few future video’s have got a lot better quality wise. Mondrian and Me is completely static, meaning its sitting on a single html & js file, it was made in a 45ish minute period which I recorded as an experiment into making things on stream. How was this site made, and why this url? But secondly, I have already dabbled with creating some generative art in the Piet Mondrian style, with a tutorial system that I had built out, called “tutorial markdown”, whereby as you scroll through the tutorial some code will update and you will see a live version of what you’re working on. There’s a few reasons for this one, first and foremost I just straight up love the art. You can’t really “undo” any lines or decisions you make, so as you decide to create more and more the artwork will get more complex, which itself is the fun. It’s always funny when you decide to build something with very little purpose, of course its not completely useless, but ultimately I wanted to create a space to appreciate Piet Mondrians artistic style, while also allowing people to interact with their artwork in progress, and try to understand the small stylistic choices that went into each individual piece of art. ![]()
