Nano Banana can be prompt engineered for extremely nuanced AI image generation | Max Woolf's Blog
https://minimaxir.com/2025/11/nano-banana-prompts/
For developers who want to build apps that programmatically generate images from Nano Banana, Google offers the gemini-2.5-flash-image endpoint on the Gemini API. Each image generated costs roughly $0.04/image for a 1 megapixel image (e.g. 1024x1024 if a 1:1 square): on par with most modern popular diffusion models despite being autoregressive, and much cheaper than gpt-image-1’s $0.17/image.

live laugh blog | you do not have to use generative ai "art" in your blogs because there are websites where you can get real, nice images for free
https://livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai-images-for-blogs-websites/
too many people are doing a great disservice to their writing by garnishing it with generative-ai (artificial intelligence) - ethics and values aside (lol), it looks tacky and it cheapens the words around it. there are so many human-created, realistic, and beautiful images available for you to use on your blogs, websites and projects for free. the following is a list that i believe just scratches the surface of what's available out there.

Quick QR Codes In Django
http://www.acedevs.com/blog/2011/07/25/quick-qr-codes-django/
Creating QR codes is a quick and easy process using a few model signals and the PyQRNative port. The hardest part of this implementation was finding a way to use the Django ContentFile object to save the generated QR code using our selected storage backend. This was important because you would not have to worry about changes to your system architecture effecting your QR generation code. An example would be moving from local filesystem storage to S3 using Django Storages (django-storages).

Publishers should all have a /covers directory - Boing Boing
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/09/01/publishers-should-al.html
"Here's a lazyweb idea for publishers: I often blog books here and when I do, I like to put up a picture of the cover. ... So here's the idea: publishers should create default directories called "covers" at their server-root (e.g., tor.com/covers, harpercollins.co.uk/covers, etc) filled with high-rez PNGs or JPGs (or both) named after the book's ISBN -- for Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book, it would be http://harpercollins.co.uk/0060530928.png. Tweak your robots.txt file to make sure the search-engines all crawl these directories, so when you search on images.google.com or images.yahoo.com for an ISBN, the publisher's high-rez would be right there at the top."
