[22:16] Virtual Machine to Mondrian by ZLDKM generates artwork in the style of Piet Mondrian based on incoming network traffic.
[23:12] The RSS feed was missing the publication date. I'm not sure why I left it out in the first place, probably because every entry has date and time included anyway. Either way, the tag is included now.

[00:34] Doom rendered via checkboxes. Because if anything resembles pixels ... wait, we've been there before.
[00:54] Around the web I often come across websites that display trust seals. I just found a way more trustworthy variation. :D
[23:57] From the "malevolent design" department: CSS fingerprinting (see also)
[23:51] In case you are interested in a fast computer: this one drives at speeds of up to 100 kmph. (This kind of demands a pun about drivers, but I used that up already.)
