I just asked ChatGPT to generate an image

Sticker that protests against AI-generated imagery, generated by AI.

Besides the (now 'classic') accolade-style, I've added a few mor themes that make the card visually feel more native-like.

Just released v3 of my pet-project, "DOMule" — a lightweight module loader for JavaScript modules which enables any DOM element to request modules, so the page only loads scripts/modules for elements that actually require them. github.com/c-kick/DOMul... #WebPerf #JavaScript #NoBuild #ES6Modules

Here's an excerpt of an amusing email I received, concerning a GIF I made for @b3ta.com in 2006. Said GIF is here b3ta.hnldesign.nl/beta126.gif

I recently needed a grid layout in CSS. So I resorted to the "baseline grid" I built earlier (which I wrote about here: hnldesign.hashnode.dev/setting-a-fl...). As always, I thought "hold on, I can improve this". Turns out: I did improve it - a lot. Will write about it soon. #css #layout #baseline

GIGO reminds me of an experiment I did a few years ago, after the emergence of those AI-face aging apps, where I kept feeding an image into it, and generating new output until it started producing utter shite

So I asked ChatGPT to create a burger on a beach. Then I asked it to vectorize it. And this is what happened. I think I can safely say my job is still safe, for now.

Started work on a custom #homeassistant card that visualizes energy flows — or any kind of flow that can be split into producing and consuming components. Think solar production and grid import vs consumption and grid return, battery charge vs discharge, gas/water usage, etc.

Single card showing a total solar energy production of 18.4 kWh. Below, two proportional bars display 10.8 kWh of consumption and 7.6 kWh of grid return, using blue and green color coding with matching icons for clarity.

Screenshot of multiple Power Bars cards in a Home Assistant dashboard, each visualizing energy or utility flows using proportional colored bars,in various sizes. Flows include power (in watts), gas (in cubic meters), and abstract inputs/outputs, with icons and values clearly labeled in a compact layout.

This latest one by the talented @nickmurraywillis.bsky.social (give him a follow on instagram: @nickmurraywillis) is too good not to share. Made me giggle like a loon. (Sorry had to trim the video a bit to keep it under 60 secs)

While cleaning up my archives, I came across some logo designs and thought I’d share one of them. 'SkiZone' was an online freeride community looking to expand into print media, and they needed a fresh identity for the transition. These are some drafts I created for their logo back in 2004.

Just stumbled across this abandoned project I did with two friends, years ago in 2011. A Russian Roulette webapp for smartphones. Somehow didn't get approved for the app store... All things considered, good idea, good fun. #archives #cleaningup

In my case it was a retweet - by me - of a GIF I did, back when Vlad was still only making threats, featuring his ridiculously large table. I miss posting gifs, I hope Bluesky figures out how to make this work soon.
