Java applets

Here are some particularly useless applets I wrote back in 1996:

Spotlights - Like Fonzie, dumb but cool. And when you think about it, not really that dumb after all.
SwirlyLand - Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of my professional career.
DottedLineLand - Really dumb. Don't try this with Internet Explorer!

Here are some less interesting, but slightly more useful examples:

Animate - Ooooh! Another Java animation applet! (Written just before the horse was officially declared "dead by beating.")
SQL Shmeequel - Only potentially does this have anything to do with database access.
Sticky shift - It's like you're really driving, man.
