here‘s a website that tells a story about an ill-starred and foolhardy road trip :)

The first thing I did last year was run | Henry From Online
On the eve of the new year, 2025, I was possessed by the spirit of adventure, and drove to Wyoming in the middle of the night. Hijinks, as is eternally their way, ensued.

truncation is not a content strategy, words should be ass…

We know OSS contributions are about more than just code, but no platforms are successfully tracking varied contributions.

I wrote code for @npmx.dev yesterday to “get my stats up” which in retrospect was silly given everything I’m doing behind the scenes. These graphs never tell the full story.

I’ve always been on the fringes of open source but after being thrust into the @npmx.dev community exactly one week ago, I can firmly conclude that this is the stuff that has always powered The Internet and it must continue at all costs.

so i had mouth surgery this week and whilst it hasn’t been as awful as having a wisdom tooth extracted i still feel very discombobulated and i have one more surgery in a few months and i just wanted to say hi and the discombobulation will be worth it

thought I’d try out some new jokes at an open mic comedy show last night

I died so hard on stage my pronouns changed themselves to she/hearse

for job-related blog posts i’ve become accustomed to using american spellings for words like “synchronize” after working for american companies

except now i question whether words like “laser” are actually spelled “lazer”

oh no i seem to have accidentally become a maintainer of a cool new open source project send help

Contributing to open source doesn't have to mean spending hours and hours on stuff outside of work.

Sometimes even the smallest of fixes make a difference!
