Useless but absolutely brilliant Wordpress Theme

Posted by: Jason Burns In: On The Web

If you, like me, think back on your days learning about computers fondly, this is the theme for you. When I was probably close to 10 years old, my dad swapped a guy out of a Commodore 128 computer for me. Complete with two 1541 disk drives, 300 baud modem, two Atari joysticks and a 13″ RGB monitor to play my shoebox full of 360k low density floppy disk games.

I am sure someone reading this now looks back at that and just says, “Man, that had to have sucked.” To a kid who loved to tinker and had a passion for computers already, it was heaven. I fondly remember typing BASIC code out of magazines for days to get the silliest little game working. I remember it all like it was yesterday.

Today I found a theme for Wordpress that brings back that Camelot. This, as admitted by it’s developer, is “Endlessly fascinating and deliciously pointless.” Well Cory, you made my day. This is probably one of the coolest, most innovative things I have seen in years. Click it, play around with it….enjoy it. I sure did.

Correction: This theme was created by Rod McFarland….great work and thanks for letting me know Rod.

Very cool theme… there are few command line wordpress theme, and I’m not sure how I can implement one in a blog of my own but quite awesome nonetheless. Thank you.
