This is amazing.

404 Emoji-Mini-Game: Find your way home Needed a new 404-page, so I created this mini-game 🤷. Find your way back to earth and avoid the comets ☄️ along the way 🍀...

Needed a new 404-page, so I made one on @codepen.io:

...and business, for that matter. Economic realities are realities to be reckoned with for what it's worth 😅.

With regards to AI research and researchers: if you make assumptions about the future and comparisons to humans and human intelligence, maybe consider learning a tiny bit about psychology, politics, research principles, the nature of science and nature in general... 🙄

The shipping cost is a tad ridiculous, but the troll is still worth it I reckon. Ordered ✅

it ought to be interesting to see how the economy shakes out, especially in light of everything that's been going on lately

Finally going to the ocean was a relief 😅🌊

That'd be a cool feature for @codepen.io itself also, I'd find: I feel like I send way too many debug-links via slack or email to test them on other devices.. 😅

2024 is such a good number though

Happy new year! 🎉 Got my yearly traditional end-of-the-year @codepen.io -thing ready:
