new blog post ^-^ just some words about feeling bad on today's internet and in the world, etc. in lieu of no big front-facing homepage updates this week as i worked on code clean up and fixes ellesho.me/page/website...

you ought to make a website. you ought to make it a canvas, a great irrigated field, a confessional booth. make it an amphitheatre, a private tea service with friends, a graveyard, a bedroom, the sunset light through shutters. you ought to make a personal website, make it carefully, make it home

i finally gave in to using embedded fonts after i looked at my homepage on linux and decided the generic fonts weren't cutting it (⌒_⌒;) i also added some more people to the blogroll and some other stuff read about the updates on my blog: ellesho.me/page/website...

just testing my new @frame.work laptop 12 for toasted skin syndrome. seems ok so far. also don't look up that syndrome just kidding, but i blogged some first thoughts about this new computer and getting into fedora linux with it ^-^ read it here: ellesho.me/page/website...

📒 ☎ Dial-a-site badges 1. Find your number in the Internet Phone Book next to your website 2. Visit internetphonebook.net/badges in a browser near you 3. Create a badge (HTML or JPG) for your website number 4. Add it to your website 🌿

i made a nice title screen on the root url of my homepage since my actual page is in the /page subdirectory. u can see it here: ellesho.me i challenged myself to do it all with just css! no images or fonts (⌒_⌒;) long blog post about inspiration and why/how i made this: ellesho.me/page/website...

i made a blogroll feed thing on ellesho.me/page ^-^ to help me keep up with some personal blogs of ppl i know/have met around the internet. hope some of u don't mind that i drew u as little pixel person (⌒_⌒;) here's a blog entry about my thought/design process: ellesho.me/page/website...

refined some small details on my 404 page and added a zoom view for the readings pop up on my homepage because it was a bit of a pain to read long titles in just the small isometric view ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page blogged about that + other random thoughts about life here: ellesho.me/page/website...

made a new website hypertext.tv

only small homepage updates this week. i added a subtle animated transition on the source viewer and fixed some of the ascii art and formatting i was going to write about some other stuff in my blog but it just turned into a rant about the ai ghibli slop trend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page/website...

i love the HTML review every year 🤍 so much inspiring and poetic and careful work, and so much deep love for the web. thanks to @maxy.bsky.social and @shheeelllbby.bsky.social for putting this wonderful collection together year over year :) thehtml.review/04/

i've been sick lately but i made some inefficient (non-derogatory) updates to my homepage like inlining my js on the front page and converting my author photo into a high density ascii composition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page/ read about it in my blog post: ellesho.me/page/website...

i think we (as internet explorers) need to be ok about only being a part of small communities and not get fomo around mega platforms if we really want to form real connections again

ascii x-ray mode now on my homepage ellesho.me/page/ kidding (⌒_⌒;) it's just a custom source code viewer for your convenience. u can read my thought process about this in my blog: ellesho.me/page/website...

just small touch-ups on my homepage and some loose thoughts on my blog this time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i've been so distracted lately ellesho.me/page/website...

added a recent readings section on my homepage so i have a place to share articles off-social ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page/ also wrote a blog about the cruelty in the world these days. don't really know what to do other than to try to put some feelings into words ellesho.me/page/website...

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control. Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

⛓️ added a links page to my website to celebrate some cool friends and cool websites 🤍 if you think of some other rad ones that oughta go on here why don’t you let me know :) henry.codes/links/

made some styling updates to my homepage and added some more fun stuff like a status bar with my imood and a "battery life" indicator (⌒_⌒;) read about those changes and more in my new blog entry: ellesho.me/page/website...

inspired by @elle.email, i’m finally collecting all the loose obsidian notes full of esoteric URLs to make a /links page :) what’s the strangest and most wonderful website you’ve seen lately? (it's ok to put your own)

i mostly lurk on here but i've been slowly meeting new ppl and thought maybe i should share my homepage updates occasionally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i just added some links sections and wrote a new blog post about feeling horrible about the state of the world (usual blog stuff) ellesho.me/page/website...

just deleted all my stuff from my dormant twitter account bc i didn't want my old tweets living in that hell. i feel much better now ^-^

found my password for this bsky account so i guess i can switch back and repurpose it as my general account here now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but i don't want to go to zuck's panopticon (｡╯︵╰｡)

i am mainly here in this closed beta to practice my netprov jokes, alt-lit poetry, and freestyle raps so
