What it does

Ongoing: At a Tech location, +2 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2004

A one-joke parody of Flash intro pages: a spinning throbber, a welcoming voice, and nothing behind it.

Joshua Levine registered the domain on 10 October 1999. It was a Flash animation until Flash was discontinued in 2020, then moved to HTML5. PC World listed it among the web's most useless sites. Others named it a favourite.

In 2004: An Australian newspaper, The Advertiser, praised its welcome.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
