A little bit about myself and the history of codenametostr.com...

Hi, I'm Tom. I like making music, photography, and horseback riding. I play bass and sing in a small prog-punk band called Motif1. My favorite music genres are punk rock, eurobeat, happy hardcore, metal, and classical. I also like playing arcade rhythm games like DanceDanceRevolution and beatmania. I'm kinda retired from my hardcore rhythm gaming days, but I still enjoy playing them when I can. I started playing rhythm games in 2015 after I watched the TeRa "Made of Fire" video for the first time. I also work on old computers, fixing them up and using them for retro PC gaming.

I made this website while I was a sophomore in college in 2022. I was stuck at home taking classes online for a semester due to illness, and taught myself how to use HTML and CSS. It started out looking like something straight off of Geocities, but I've revamped it quite a bit since then. I hope you like it. I'll be here trying to figure out how to turn your mouse cursor into a sword or something. Also, watch my videos.
