People, sponsor mediabunny. It's good.
I've been a little sad the last couple of days. Mediabunny's first, longest and most loyal sponsor, Gling, stopped their gold sponsorship of Mediabunny this week. Their CTO @yonatanbd left the company, and they're now restructuring their efforts and cutting costs where they can. An understandable move from their part, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm deeply grateful for the years of Yonatan's support; he alone was the basically the reason Mediabunny even got started and he supported me through its development for half a year before I released the version to the public. Thanks to his encouragement and financial support (as well as the support of @konstipaulus), I had the courage the quit my job back then and to focus on building cool media stuff for the web full time! On the financial side, I'd be lying if I said losing a gold sponsor doesn't hurt. It does, a little. I'm still alright though! GitHub Sponsorships are my main way of making a living at the moment. If you or your company have gotten considerable value from Mediabunny, consider a donation! I'm sure your logo would look beautiful on the Mediabunny home page ;) I'm working on super cool upcoming stuff that I haven't shared yet, and I'd love to keep working on it. People still haven't experienced the true power of web-based media processing!

There's a live screening of a match Mexico vs. Colombia next to the hotel here in San Jose right now. They know how to party... Shame that @danielcranney already left.

I included a few references to this year's record-breaking Kākāpō breeding season in a talk I gave yesterday, and since Claude Opus 5.5 is surprisingly capable at pixel art animation I had it create this celebratory video for my closing slide

The gmail settings page is a prime example of an interface untouched by anyone with a UI/UX mindset…

Got to love companies in their decks talking about "negative cashflow". I want to have negative taxflow please…

I love that moment when a guest finds out a MAD headline is actually real, or something totally believable is entirely made up. Tech is stranger than fiction... Join us for Fake or News (the XL edition!) on Wednesday (Sept 23rd) as part of our Day 1 programme at @WeAreDevs World Congress North America, and earn a spot on the leaderboard 🏆
