The Nexus
Welcome to The Nexus! This is a brand new area of The Haunted Web to house outgoing links as well as links to my own online projects. If you're looking to "surf the Web", you've come to the right place.
My Creations
Web type stuff that I've made!
- Alien Encounter Audio-Visual Archive: Fan page for the defunct Disney attraction ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter
- Keeper's Corner: Fan page for the TTRPG Monster of the Week
- Emergency Sideblog Protocol: Tumblr blog for the Portal game series
Useful Web-Things
Utilities for your browsing convenience.
- EZGif: This site is a quick and easy way to crop, resize, and otherwise tweak videos and GIFs. Go forth and edit to your heart's content!
- Find Music by Lyrics: Track down those pesky songs you can't remember the name of.
Design Resources
- Background Preview Machine: See how an image would look as a Web site background (site created by yours truly).
- Color Blender: Exactly what it says on the tin.
- Dither It!: Reduce the number of colors in an image using cool and awesome algorithms.

Cool Stuff for Your Eyeballs
- Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute: Explore design trends in business and advertising "from the 70s until now".

- Inanimate Empathy Adoption Center: Find an adorable digital companion of your own!
- Omega Pattern Works: Feast your eyes on hundreds of carpet designs (great inspriation for tiled Web site backgrounds).
