  • Peek-A-Boo

    Peek-A-Boo

    Experimenting with a new video camera, I turned a simple game of peek-a-boo into a highly optimized 8-color animation. Built for dial-up speeds, the grayscale footage was compressed to 5 KB and tinted red for stylistic effect. Read More

    Trademark: Dream Spin

    “Dream Spin” is a 3D rendering of my personal trademark, created in TrueSpace for my Geocities site, Shoomi – Homepage Of A Dreamer. After Yahoo acquired Geocities, access was lost, leaving this image as a preserved fragment. Read More

    Delving into new technologies

    While exploring early streaming media, I tested the ASF format after buying a budget video camera. Originally shared via NetShow, the clip was later preserved as a GIF, capturing a moment when web video felt experimental and full of promise. Read More

    New Site Design

    On January 31, 1999, Lewis.Moten.com received a redesign aimed at improving compatibility for Netscape users. The lighthearted update invited feedback—minus asparagus—marking another evolution in early cross-browser web experimentation. Read More

    3-D Images

    In 1998, I showcased early 3D renderings created with 3D Studio Release 4, featuring a modeled modem and a detailed bee. These experiments explored lighting, texture, and form—capturing late-90s fascination with digital modeling and emerging desktop graphics. Read More

  • Bee

    Bee

    Created as a class assignment in 3D Studio Release 4, this rendered bee explores organic modeling through polygon shaping, lighting, and texture work. Built during the late 90s, it reflects early experimentation with digital sculpture and desktop CGI tools. Read More

  • Modem

    Modem

    This 3D rendering of a 56K modem captures a detailed printed circuit board populated with through-hole resistors, capacitors, diodes, and microchips. Created during the dial-up era, it reflects late-90s fascination with hardware, connectivity, and precision digital modeling. Read More

  • Resume
    September 10, 1997
    Resume

    In 1997, struggling with Microsoft Word, I built my first resume entirely in HTML 3.2—spacers, transparent GIFs, and all. It was sparse and imperfect, but it captured my early ambition and the scrappy beginnings of a lifelong web career. Read More
