I assume that you immediately regret coming to this page.

It has no real value to you, and it forced you download a silly audio clip, an ugly animated .gif that's probably making you dizzy, and a pointless piece of DHTML eye candy in the form of a Jolt can mouse trail.

Well, too bad. This site isn't for you anyway. It's for me.

Back in the old days, when Yahoo! was a page of some guy's bookmarks, when Mosaic was losing market share to Navigator, and when Amazon was just another rain forest, I decided I finally needed to make a web site.

But the web was already growing with pages that consisted solely of people sharing pictures of their cat and gratuitous links to each other, Yahoo!, and some NASA pages.

I decided I needed to try to give something back to the people who made the web what it was, and at the same time, make something a little different. And so the first Jolt Cola page ever seen on the web was born.

Initially intended to be the page for Jolt info on the web, it slowly became more of a place to experiment with new web tehcnologies or layout ideas. And the feedback I got indicated that people were more interested in the eye candy than any attempt to provide information, however useless.

So, now I offer version 5 of the Unofficial Jolt Cola page, and to reward you for reading this far without getting sick from the animation over there on the left, I offer the same old data you've grown to expect here, caffeine info, some links, and silly imagery.

Enjoy. And don't say I didn't warn you.
