It is a strange, fun little challenge to come up with a new thing to add to a round little person each day.
No AI is allowed to create the idea, just update the code that draws and animates it.

Today on the treadmill I thought: "Am I able to sing while running? Will that make it more fun?"
The answer to both was probably yes, but then I was done and was met with a message from my wife saying "that is the strangest thing I've ever hear".
So triple #win i guess!😂

Started the day by watching four ads, enjoyed it a lot. Would watch more! @anthropic.com
Hopefully the marketing team at #OpenAI can take this with more humor than Mr. Sam did on Twitter so we can get some friendly banter going back and forth.

Context is everything for #AI. But hasn't context always been everything when trying to build something?
What are we building?
Why are we building?
Do we have the same definitions of the things we are talking about?
If you did your homework in the past, hopefully your speed is pretty good now!

Googled an issue. Found the answer on a post I wrote on my own blog 5.5 years ago. Thanks past Martin! 😅

Found an old Sony Walkman at my parents house. Decided to spend some time trying to restore it. It now plays cassettes on approximately 0.8x speed. 😂
And my kids have no idea what they are looking at!

My mind needed to create something very different today. So wanted to try a technique I picked up from #genuary in Reddit to create some simple texture on images.

Maybe weird question:
What is the feedback you wish you had gotten at a point in time so you would have been able to kill and idea or project you where working on?

9 years of data on myself!
Every night before going to bed I register some statistics about how I feel.
2025 has in this sense been a prett average year. So hoping 2026 can bring more community, new acquaintances and lots of fun!

“What do you think?” is the worst question you can ask.
I think we fail at getting the feedback we need because we ask wrong when we request it. Or we get defensive when we get it.
Want some feedback on your projects?
Why not request it on CoAmplio.com?

Even though I try to keep up with most things AI, for personal projects I've gone all out @anthropic.com. It just feels like these guys have more fun than some of the others when I use their products.
And I like to prioritize fun over a lot of things. (when I can)

Where would you go to get feedback before you had a finished piece to put on Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok or any other forum you want to share the finished product?
Friends? Family? Or do you have a go to place online?

Only fitting that the first feedback request on CoAmplio is a request for feedback on CoAmplio itself. Will be a fun time capsule to look at if we are able to grow.

The hardest part of learning something new isn't really the beginning, or the end. It's the messy middle.
When you know some basics and need guidance and feedback on the work you know isn't great and want to improve it!
That's why we are building www.CoAmplio.com!

If you're going to sell an #AI product, and you website has a footer with dead links I'm going to be REALLY skeptical of using your product...
