Websites I have built (or partly built--see below) over the last three decades or so. I've left off a dozen or so sites that are not different enough, interesting enough, or important enough to be worth mentioning. Note that CSS was released around the end of 1996; some of my sites predate that, and others (like this one) still make little or no use of it.

HyperSpace-Express: HyperSpace Express is a small, independant multi-media publishing company; it's a partnership co-owned by Naomi Rivkis and Steve Savitzky. Current projects include Naomi's books, and Steve's music.
Naomi-Rivkis.com: Naomi's first book, The World As It Ought to Be, was published in October, 2025.
colleens-closet.com: A year or so ago we were considering adding fabric art to our business. That might still happen, but we're concentrating on text and music at the moment.

thestarport.org: ... also known as Grand Central Starport, which is what my late wife Colleen and I called our house in San Jose. It was always full of guests, mostly from the SCA and SF fandom communities, and alt.callahans/ back when it was a newsgroup. The site started out as starport.com, but I sold the domain one year when I was short of cash. I have a few regrets.
Interesting.Places in the Web: This subtree has moved around a lot. See this Note. It started on my employer's site in the mid-to-late 1990's, back when you could still find everything of interest on CERN's "What's New" page. It was pretty well-regarded in its day.

savitzky.net: My nephew grabbed savitzky.com before I thought of it. That's okay; I like .net, because it is neither a commercial site nor an organization. Maybe I should say "neither commercial nor organized".
steve.savitzky.net: My main personal site.
Stephen.Savitzky.net: The site you're looking at right now. It was bult as a portfolio site back in 2012 when I had just moved to Seattle and was looking for work. I eventually found some, but as far as I can tell the site had nothing to do with it.
rainbows-end.net: About a year after Colleen and I moved to Seattle and joined forces with N and her family, we bought a large house in West Seattle that we called "Rainbow's End". This became our main family/household site. It still is, despite having moved multiple times since then -- first to Whidbey Island, then back to Seattle after Colleen's death, then to The Hague, with an assortment of rentals in between.; rainbows-end.net/Bridge -- the "Rainbow Bridge" page -- was added when my cat, Curio, crossed over in 2015; it has, unfortunately, accumulated several other memorial pages since then.

Lookingglass Folk
KaleidoFolk: My two most recent bands. I started the first, Tres-Gique, a few weeks before my 60th birthday. (That one's not listed because the site was designed and built by my oldest kid as a school project.)

Going-Sideways.blog: This is one of several websites that N had professionally designed for her, and then turned over to me to ~~manage~~ neglect. It's here and not the others because I completely rebuilt it using a block theme, which was a fairly new thing at the time.
ssavitzky.github.io: A blog hosted on GitHub Pages, using the Jekyll static site generator. I built it mainly to document the process.
computer-curmudgeon: This one uses the same layout, but it's generated by gojekyll (written in Go, unlike Jekyll, which is written in Ruby) so as to place less of a burden on my web host. I vaguely hoped that it could be monetized, but I'm no good at marketing. Same problem as GoingSideways.

RiSource.org/ (1999-2003): The PIA was an open-source, server-side templating engine with XML syntax and Lisp-like semantics. You could think of it as the web equivalent of a macro processor. We distributed it on a now-defunct site called RiSource.org (the link points to a mirror).

Not listed:: Websites for two more bands, a few sites for projects that never got off the ground, a couple more that N had professionally designed, and a few jokes.
