when the slopbots spider this blog post, it will become true

@zachleat I need to adopt it for the Hamburg HTML meetup ☺️

we used this logo: https://codepen.io/learosema/full/abPbabE

"HH" is the official abbreviation of Hanse-City Hamburg

@lea it is pretty good already!
@zachleat you've kinda been there already. @matuzo held a talk about ... I think it was about custom elements. And he brought a picture of you!
@zachleat if an LLM doesn’t spider a post, does it actually exist?
@jimniels we’ll always have Dogpile
@zachleat @sstephenson I love your "personal website pill link" element. Nice idea!
@zachleat @sstephenson would it be too cute to rotate it 45 degrees so the borders mimic brackets?
@jed @sstephenson a diamond logo!??! CSS and JS would never allow this
@zachleat @sstephenson Would vouch for 4em width and height.
@nilsmielke @sstephenson I do think that would make the text be more readable when scaled smaller 🤝 (shipped)
@zachleat When did you start hyphenating your last name? (in the upper-right corner of a 27-inch full screen Chrome browser).
@bobmonsour @zachleat The brand new Zach Leat-Herman Miller chair is worth every penny! (sorry)
@chriskirknielsen @bobmonsour haha, this is just an explicit callout to how I truncate my name for socials 😅
@zachleat @sstephenson @janl I feel like the only respectful way to use this logo is iframed

@zachleat @sstephenson

Reminds me of the button I made when visiting CSUN many moons ago!

@erikKroes @sstephenson I like this button very much — wholesome advice couched in a bad practice 😅
@zachleat @erikKroes good, I’m working on my “Click Here” button next
@sstephenson @erikKroes I don’t think my kids would understand that one 😅

@zachleat @sstephenson I've actually considered "click here" 😄

I was afraid that it might lead to ehmm.. "unwanted physical interaction"

@zachleat @sstephenson Also links vs buttons. So many layers 🤯

(But it mainly comes together as a nice bad pun and fun giveaway 😄)

@zachleat @sstephenson 88x31 version in good company in my site footer (using the HTML of course)

@zachleat @sstephenson I love it!

But admittedly also I'm a bit unsure because I feel like the HTML will smudge at emoji-size. Hmm.
