Ellie Coral's online workbench… mind the mess.
Many, many years ago, I came across gorgeous animated GIFs and the website they were inspired by: Canvas Cycle: True 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5. (Sound warning: may be loud!) For years, I wondered how this internet magic was done, but viewing the source of the HTML provided no solution. I couldn’t make heads or…
I’m starting to think that the little tasks I’ve been giving myself this past week are excuses to not touch the dead simple coursework I have remaining for my final semester. But that doesn’t mean this little opinion piece I wrote for my research blog wasn’t worthwhile: Citing on the Fly. Now I should really get…
I miss creating random posts where I share the odd jumble of things I’ve come across. So I’ll do that in this one. Life Lessons Everyone Learns Too Late But Wish They Knew Earlier (YouTube) These videos have been popping up in my feed lately, and some of them are actually pretty useful. After six…
Now you get to have a taste of my personal research track throughout grad school. This was one of the articles I used for reference in an early assignment, and it’s one of the few that managed to stay on my mind—and in my heart—ever since: The Fading of the Elves: Techno-Volunteerism and the Disappearance…
In an effort to get into the habit of updating on projects, here is a screenshot with no context. Maybe this project will be better received than a short story.
I debated saving this for when I had a few more articles up, but considering all the writing I’ve done for all four articles, this should keep readers busy for a while. Yes, four articles of varying lengths, tinged with the flavor of academia. And there will be more. That’s a threat promise. I proudly…
As the year progresses, I find myself becoming less and less tolerant of the internet as a whole. Mostly because of knee-jerk reactions, tribalism, slogans, ragebaiting, hypocrisy, and other general unpleasantness. “Support artists!” (Follows and buys merch only from popular artists.) “People should succeed on merit!” (Watches videos and streams of only famous content creators.)…
Or My Brain Has Somehow Survived an Onslaught of Words These have been a busy past couple of weeks. I’ll spare you the gory details and just provide the text below: I’m working on three different websites: one for my tarot practice, another for my story projects, and the last one for research (you’ll see).…
Or Ellie Finds Her Career Ikigai Or If I Make People Mad with This One, Good I would be streaming some Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream right about now if not for the fact that a recent Windows update I foolishly trusted messed up my machine. The brightness slider would not work, leaving my eyes…
This post was supposed to go up a few days after I arrived home from PAX, but as you can see, other things required my attention. Then more things filed in a line and wouldn’t let up. Truth be told, I didn’t really feel like synthesizing my entire con experience. I had plenty of time…
