About me

Hi! My name is Ewan, though the username "Jello" seems to have stuck most places on the internet. I use he/him pronouns. I created Leonard's Place and its growing cast of characters. Aside from some creator's notes here or there, you won't see me interacting out of character much beyond this page. I am brand new to website design but I'm having a lot of fun messing around with HTML and CSS at the moment. If you notice any scuffed coding on my pages or have any other suggestions, let me know on my neocities profile!

Interests

My interests are sure to shine through in the reviews on this site (once those pages are built) but I figured I'd share some stuff here anyway! I watch a lot of movies and like to search out new music, but I also read a fair amount and play video games. Coding sites is a new hobby of mine, as is browsing neocities! I love the vibes on this side of the internet! Anyways, here are some favourite pieces of media:

Manifesto

The internet is exhausting these days. It's a lot of the same four websites that have no bottom to their pages. It is addictive and ubiquitous, impersonal and corporate. I don't believe that there is much I can do to change that, but making sites like this does, I think, help! Creating Leonard's Place has been fun and Neocities has, for me, returned a sense of discovery and whimsy to the internet. That's why this site exists and why I continue to update it every now and then.

If you appreciate this sentiment, then I encourage you to join this little movement of sorts and make a site of your own! Neocities is free to use and as an absolute beginner I've found HTML and CSS very easy to learn. For more information, I'd reccomend visiting both Yesterweb and Sadness's Site
