The latest project from neal.fun is Internet Artifacts, an online museum of artifacts from the early internet, including the first spam email, first MP3, first livestream, and dozens of notable early websites with a working browser and Flash emulation. neal.fun/internet-art...

Is there any way to add or recommend additional context for some of these? Neil Cicierega (in the 2006 section) was already famous for his Potter Puppet Pals when Ultimate Showdown launched.

In fandom at the time the flash animations were hugely popular. I wrote something for Movie Magic Magazine in early 2005 which mentioned Potter Puppet Pals. www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2005/04/10/n...

Oh, my mistake, just digging through the old PPP LJ on the Internet Archive, I can see it had a bigger community than I thought, selling out a run of 1,000 shirts in 2004, posts with hundreds of comments, etc. I guess it’s all relative! web.archive.org/web/20050617...
