Slackers Inc has been around since 1999 in various forms and has never really had a consistent, unifying theme. For the early 2000’s it was a page to showcase a bunch of our lives and anything we thought was cool at the time. The addition of a webcam to the mix made the site dynamic, a rare thing at the time. Traffic picked up so much with just one webcam in our livingroom that we added a few more, and then a few more – Soon we had a half dozen in various places around the house including the kitchen, bedrooms, outside the house and even our tv feed (known as “watch what we’re watching”). I’m quite sure we broke some sort of rebroadcasting rule there, assuming anyone was bored enough to watch.
Following this, the site languished for several years until it was converted into a photo showcase. It seemed like a good idea at the time and was easy to maintain, so that’s what it stayed for several more years.
Jump forward to the present and we have a blog for sharing the geeky and cool things we find. We’ll see how updated this stays but I guarantee that it will directly correlate to how much effort is required. We are afterall, slackers.
