I really love this. The original art piece is just a set of instructions meant to be fed into our minds and generate an imaginary canvas. Now we use technology to just feed the same set of instructions into software to generate virtual canv

Because we can be better human beings by helping each other. Those private medallion holders made a mistake by putting all their eggs in that one nest, sure. But should the result of it be their lives ruined because "you lost the game,

Thanks (I thought that line was going to end differently considering how it started). I didn't put it out there because, although it's functioning perfectly, I'm not happy with the internals and would like to find time to ref
