Mikey Jake

Building my own corners of the web since the late 90s.

I'm Mike. I've been making and running my own websites since the dial-up days — a coupon site that rode the early search era, fan sites that have been online since 2000, concert calendars, guitar gear pages. Some made real money, some were just for the love of it, and in 2026 I'm bringing the whole family back to life with modern tools.

This page is the master list. Everything below is mine: built, owned, and operated by one guy, not a content farm.
