Welcome to squarehappy
squarehappy is a testbed for new techniques in web design as well as the personal homepage of Michael Huch. If you're not familiar with the site, you may want to learn a bit more about squarehappy and some of the features available. If you're like most people, you came here for the middle finger cursor or the Donkeylips Fan Club. Maybe the look of this site isn't your thing. I'm not a great graphic designer, so I give you the freedom to change the style or just ditch styles altogether. You could even forego visiting this site at all and just use the RSS feed. Maybe you just need to get the hell out here (seriously buddy). Then let my links provide you with safe passage on your journey across the internet.
squarehappy is intentionally not capitalized because it looks ridiculous that way. I tried going with all caps but that was just annoying. squarehappy does not need to be shouted. squarehappy is fine the way it is.

Older articles can be found in the archives. At the moment they are organized by subject matter but that matter is subject to change. That was just my convoluted way of saying that eventually you'll see a better form of chronological organization for the squarehappy archive. I just ain't that great of a PHP programmer yet.
