FYI you have a horizontal overflow, likely the cookie banner.

This critter was so smol 🥹
A thumb sized, green frog on a stone step. I'm out of focus in the background, looking at it adoringly.

I found Aquila in South Korea.
An old, red, 3 wheeled Daewoo car that looks like Aquila from the BBC children's show.

Truncation is not a content strategy... also I have the humour of a 12 year old.

I spotted these little critters at my Finnish family's cabin over the summer. I almost stepped on the toad in the dark but thankfully saw it just in time 😬

Bluebberry vodka tonic 🇫🇮
A glass of clear liquid on a table. The table has a clear bottle with a plant stem on it. The lighting is cosy.

A weird thing I've seen with Chrome on Android is that highlight sharing doesn't include the link on every website.

This site has the link
support.google.com/chrome/answe...

This site doesn't
arielsalminen.com/2025/generat...

CC @arielsalminen.com, is this intentional on your site? If so, how?

Okay, #CSS corner-shape is pretty super. No SVG, no shape() clip paths, or gradients, just some basic border-radius and you can make Superman's logo.

Weighing 1.2 kilograms, this is an absolute unit of a purple sweet potato.

I didn't get to watch any #StarWars this #MayThe4th but I did play with a laser.
A table top with 5 coasters. They are laser engraved with a line drawing of the starship Enterprise. 3 are a light wood, 2 are slate. There is also a business card for Blue Tiger Crafts on the table.
