wut is this ?

this is an unofficial spinoff project of March Xness, an annual basketball-style tournament of music, essays, associations, && memoriez. You can read more about the Xness legacy here (&& reserve a stormy night to explore the archives.)

who r u?

I'm @caromacon, a writer in chicago. i'm competing in the tourney with an essay about flo rida's "low."

wut's the theme of the tournament?

00's dance hits. these vidz are just-for-fun && to gas up my bracket picks.

i'm a normal person with an iPhone. wuts going on with this webpage?

Neocities is a coding canvas salvaged && reimagined from the party glitter desecration of days of yore including Geocities, Myspace, Xanga, web2.0 blogs, etc. As neocities puts it:

We are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves.

I hope people will like this && want to make webz of their own.

~welcome back to the people's internet, baybee.~

how did u make these / wut r u doing / i'm scared

i'm scared, too. i had some ideas && hit the red button. i feel inspired by anti-polished home-videomaking. i've been at it with the homemade shits-and-giggles since i got my first hot pink nikon coolpix.

will u put these on tiktok ?

no. but you can find a couple of costume + dance vidz i've made on tiktok, with a similar conceit, at caromacon. i did use tiktok software to cut together the 50 Cent && Kylie Minogue vidz. i'm not a pro && the tiktok editor ux is n00b friendly.

did u learn to code for this ?

this was (wildly + haphazardly) executed with the mysterious remains of knowledge from my myspace days.
