I got "Chicago Sports Fan"...and while you'd think as a proponent of #webcomponents I'd be have a kinship with their desperation for a win, but I'm not even I could have that sort of dedication. 🤣

What have you gotten?

I need a sign for this...so I can tap the sign when people need to remember.

I just needed to tap it for a colleague. Might not have tapped it if there were a way to make "CSS Resets" lower priority that `:host` rules, but alas...
The Simpsons meme saying "Don't make me tap the sign"... the sign says "!important is a TOOL not an anti-pattern".

A close-up photograph captures a brown spider web covered in early morning dew droplets, glistening in the soft sunlight. Each individual water droplet acts as a tiny lens, reflecting and refracting the surrounding green foliage. The intricate geometric pattern of the spider web spans between two dark brown tree branches against a blurred background of leaves and twigs. Macro photography with shallow depth of field and natural morning lighting.

Who can tell which is correct?

When visiting https://codepen.io/Westbrook/pen/gbpMbrb should there be four red squares (Blink) or four vertical red bars/lines (FF/WebKit)?

Not sure which is the bug to submit one. Help!

The Blink rendering of this page with four red boxes. The FF/WebKit rendering of this with four red lines.

A beverage tour of New Taipei.

#travel #beer #whiskey #taiwan
Taiwan Gold Medal Beer in a can. A little heavier than the 18 day and with a bite on the tongue. Lava lab cask strength whiskey flight. Poured straight from the cask these were each their own flavor world. Call me lazy, but working cask strength to drinking strength is a lot more work than I signed up for that evening. Taiwan Beer’s 18 day Draft in a bottle. A big winner on this trip; crisp, refreshing, paired well with every meal.

A blue goldfish wearing a small red and yellow striped conical party hat swims in a round glass fishbowl filled with clear water. A white rectangular label attached to the front of the bowl displays text reading "April Fish". Below the bowl, a small white sign with black text reads "In France, April Fools is 'Poisson d'Avril' (April Fish)". A white speech bubble emerges from the goldfish's mouth containing black text reading "This is not a joke, I'm culturally significant". The scene is set against a soft blue background. Digital illustration with clean lines and flat colors against a simple gradient background.

[April Fools.]

Because thinking of just the right April Fools for all your friends can be harder than real work, @reveai.bsky.social hacked in a little helper for you all!

Two adults take a selfie while wearing winter clothing including knit beanies and warm jackets. The man features a prominent, well-groomed long beard that flows down his chest, styled in a natural wave. Both individuals are smiling warmly at the camera, with their faces and bodies oriented slightly toward the lens. Their winter attire includes distinctive red and grey beanies, with one person wearing a navy blue…

A maroon hooded sweatshirt with visible signs of wear rests on bright green grass. The word "Reve" is emblazoned across the chest in aged white script lettering, showing intentional distressing and wear patterns. The hoodie's fabric has a lived-in appearance with subtle fading throughout, concentrated wear along the edges, and characteristic pilling. Sunlight streams across the scene, highlighting the texture of the worn fabric against the fresh grass backdrop. Close-up photography with sharp detail on the weathered elements.

A cinematic landscape photograph shows an orange sun low on the horizon, casting a warm glow across a vast battlefield littered with medieval banners, swords, and discarded shields. The battlefield stretches from the foreground to the distant hills, with silhouettes of standing warriors raising their weapons against the sunset sky. The golden light illuminates patches of mist hovering close to the ground, creating layers of depth across the scene. Wide-angle photography with dramatic backlighting and atmospheric haze. The text "End, day one." appears in the bottom right corner in an ornate Gothic font, rendered with a metallic bronze finish.

A heavily weathered monochromatic street art mural stands amid towering geodesic domes and crystalline spires inspired by Soviet-era science fiction. The text "A STORY FROM THE CREATOR OF YOUR DREAMS" hovers in semi-transparent modernist letters with a subtle digital distortion effect. The warrior and bird artwork peels away to reveal circuitry patterns underneath. Holographic propaganda posters float beside the two windows, now converted into automated citizen-monitoring stations. Red neon tubes outline architectural features, while worker androids march past on moving walkways. Massive zeppelin-like structures drift between brutalist towers in the background. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of three artificial suns, creating dramatic shadows across the retro-futuristic landscape. Cinematography reminiscent of 1970s Eastern European sci-fi films, with high contrast and deep saturated reds.

#streetart #aiart #photography #yourdreams
A heavily weathered monochromatic street art mural depicts a fantasy warrior riding a giant bird with elaborate feather detailing, where the warrior, rendered in severely faded black silhouette against a heavily stained beige concrete wall, wields a long spear and wears flowing garments with a billowing cape. Large sections of the paste-up are peeling away, revealing layers of the wall beneath. Multiple small creatures run alongside the main figures across the wall's extensively deteriorated surface. The artwork's intricate black linework and cross-hatching techniques are broken by deep cracks and extensive peeling, with substantial portions missing entirely. Two rectangular windows integrate into the composition - one window featuring rusted metal security bars while the other remains unobstructed. Water damage has created long dark streaks down the wall's surface, cutting through the artwork. Years of sun exposure have bleached large areas, while bottom sections show extensive deterioration with pronounced moss growth and mineral deposits. The complete mural spans the full height of the wall, with the warrior and bird figures still discernible despite significant degradation. Large-scale street art photography with sharp contrast and precise focus to capture the extreme temporal wear of the artwork.

A lush forest scene with oversized mushrooms in vibrant red and orange caps towering several feet tall, their thick white stems resembling tree trunks. Three small elephants, each the size of a house cat, stand beneath the mushroom caps, eating grass and small vegetation from the forest floor. Patches of moss and fallen leaves cover the ground between the mushroom stems, while delicate rays of sunlight filter through the canopy of mushroom caps overhead, creating dappled shadows on the forest floor. Close-up nature photography with shallow depth of field and soft natural lighting filtering through vegetation.

A team of five software developers sit in open office workspace at night, working intently at their computer monitors displaying lines of code. Each developer has multiple monitors, laptops, and energy drink cans on their desks. The office is dimly lit with the blue glow from screens providing most of the illumination. Exposed brick walls and industrial ceiling with track lighting create the tech startup atmosphere, while sticky notes and whiteboards with diagrams cover nearby walls. Empty coffee cups and takeout containers are scattered across the desks, suggesting the late-hour work session. Documentary-style photography with low-key lighting and cool color temperature, emphasizing ambient screen glow in dark environment.
