WEBSITES ARE DOING WORK

Published On: January 27, 2026Categories: Websites

Today I discovered dominosugarfactory.com, a site built by photographer Noah Kalina. The site features his film photographs of the Domino Sugar Factory building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn from 2008-2013, along with his current photos when he visits his old neighborhood.

I also found rekall via Rodrigo Ghedin, which he describes as “a fairly dose of cyberpunk aesthetics.” Upon further investigation, the rekall site has been updated every night by Steve Gaynor since 2010.

I made a “Website Walk” video based on the new Gourmet Magazine, too, which I found out about via Kottke. Turns out Condé Nast didn’t renew the trademark on the magazine title, so some foodie writers bought it up and relaunched it.

This isn’t a matter of “what’s old is new again,” but rather “what worked, worked.”

Keep your domain name current, and pay your hosting bill every year, and your work survives when a platform goes down, kicks you off, locks you out, or gets bought by Yahoo (we all know how that goes).
