Built by Paul Walhus in Austin, TX. From the spring.com BBS in 1996 to a network of 108 live websites across 108 domains — covering AI, tech, real estate, entertainment, sustainability, coworking, politics, arts, and more. Every site has SSL, structured data, sitemaps, and cross-links. The entire network went live on April 1, 2026.
In the Yang Style Tai Chi tradition of Master Choy Kam Man of San Francisco, the complete Long Form contains exactly 108 movements. The WholeTech Network now contains exactly 108 websites. The number is no coincidence. Paul Walhus studied traditional Yang Style Tai Chi directly under Master Choy — a 5th generation lineage holder whose father Choy Hok Peng was the first person to bring Tai Chi to America in 1939.
108 is a sacred number across traditions — in Buddhism, Hinduism, martial arts, and mathematics. It represents completion. 108 movements. 108 websites. One network. One form.
Two new sites. taichipaul.com preserves the Yang Style of Master Choy Kam Man. aiwholetech.com tracks the AI revolution with curated tools, models, and resources.
It started in 1996 with the spring.com BBS — one of Austin's first online communities. Then spring.net. Then austinspring.com. Then a Colin Firth fan site that became one of the longest-running on the web. Then Jane Austen. Then coworking directories. Then real estate. Then robots.
Over three decades, WholeTech has built and maintained over a hundred websites. In March 2026, Paul Walhus rebuilt the entire network in days — 108 live sites, all with modern design, SSL encryption, structured data, sitemaps, cross-links, and email capture. The infrastructure that used to cost hundreds per month now runs on $6/month website hosting.
On April 1, 2026, the full network went live. Every domain, every site, every certificate. This is WholeTech.
