About

Hello and welcome! I’m Will Nicholes, and this is my personal website.

In the age of social media dominance, the idea of a personal website might seem a little quaint. This website has been around in one form or another since the 1990s, first as an exercise to share my interests and test my HTML (and later, CSS) skills, and now as a WordPress blog-ish type site with posts of things I’ve seen, done, and/or found interesting over the years.

I’m active on Bluesky… feel free to follow me there. I have accounts on other platforms but I’m less active there.

A little bit about me:

I enjoy retro gaming, and especially the Atari 2600 platform. I wrote and released a game for it called Duck Attack! in 2010.
I enjoy pop music from the 80s. In the 90s some buddies and I hosted a retro radio show Lost in the 80s, followed by a website (Back to the 80s) celebrating the songs and bands of that era.
I created the Periodic Table of U.S. Presidents.
I love taking pictures of things. I wouldn’t call myself a “photographer” exactly, but I do have at least one picture in a book.
I enjoy recreational mathematics.
I am a Rotarian.
I’m an eclipse enthusiast.
I have a lot of cats. Thanks to the talented Don Lee for creating a poster celebrating my cat horde (hoard?) in superhero format.
