The original Humor Tree was a turn-of-the century net.art project developed at the tail end of my high school career as an entry in a senior-year art competition hosted by the Longview Museum of Fine Arts in Longview, Texas.
Despite the enthusiastic support of the director of the LMFA and the generous sponsorship of the local Best Buy, this project was held out of that art competition by the administrators of Longview High School and the Longview Independent School District because I refused to remove a few dirty words and a handful of disembodied (almost entirely male) nipples.
All of the code was written very badly by a novice programmer for very old web browsers, using very outdated Web programming techniques. In the intervening decades (!!!) I have made minimal updates to try to keep things working in modern browsers while retaining the character of the original (awful) code, but there is undoubtedly still some brokenness throughout.
Anyway, here it is. Start at the beginning and try to navigate all the way to the end, or jump to individual pages in order below.
After high school, I kept pushing small bits of web programming experimentation up from time to time.
As with any good side project, I wasted a lot of time redesigning the home page every few months/years.
