Stellar Web Links

Archive Stories is a website about how to work with creative and non-traditional archives. We wanted to create a space for conversations about archiving beyond institutional archives, to think through the possibilities that open up when we imagine the archive as expansive and as encompassing everything around us.

This website is a tool & space that shares knowledge on how to build your own archive. For my transnational families, immigrants, and displaced people who are separated and fragmented from their family histories, I see you, I feel you, and I hear you. This is for you. I hope these templates can be filled with your stories celebrating moments of joy, your histories and cultural practices, and your own experiences that can get passed down generations or act as a space for healing.

Remember the internet? One millennial's jaded digital nostalgia.

Ellane publishes every week a “Plain Text, Paper less” aka PTPL post. This morning I read her post Saving Safari tabs as Markdown links. I don’t use Safari, I use Librewolf, a privacy focused fork of Firefox. And, I use Tridactyl, a Vim experience in your browser. If you are a Vim user, once you tried it, you can’t live without it anymore.

Saving Safari tabs as a list of Markdown links augments an interstitial journaling practice. I’m enjoying the uniformity of a mono font in Obsidian.

There is a growing discontent around the current state of the World Wide Web. Web 1.0 felt like a place of freedom and creativity. Maybe I'm being romantic, for sure had to have its issues... But remember the whimsical sites in Geocities, the simplicity of email discussion lists or the anonymity of IRC?

Websites can programmatically define a blogroll using OPML. These blogrolls help people who read your blog discover other websites you think are worth promoting. A diagram showing how an OPML blogroll can link to RSS feeds, which in turn can each link to another OPML blogroll, and so-on This project maps connections between websites, web feeds (RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds), and OPML blogrolls. The size and interconnectedness of the network can be tracked over time. Exploring the network can help you discover new websites recommended by bloggers you already follow.

Over at my other blog, I recently asked myself, “why record at all”. I didn’t have an answer to it until I looked at some old photos like the one above. I like that photo, taken u…

I put together this spreadsheet as a living resource for websites and digital places that reignite feelings of joy, excitement and curiosity while exploring the internet. Somewhere along the road, corporations and recommendation algorithms made the internet feel loud and unescapable. I like to think of the internet as a place where you can build a digital home that feels right for you.

The hand has become increasingly less present in the web as we know it today. Most websites today are built from templates on website-building platforms, and the knowledge of how to make a website from scratch is relegated to a select few. It has only grown easier to learn how to make websites, but the perceived requirements and expectations for a website have become so convoluted and arcane that many avoid the subject.

An alt text selfie is any written self-portrait. This project takes a well-known practice—the selfie—and approaches it through a disability lens.
