My daughter's grandmother got her these AWESOME socks.
We try so hard to raise the kids right in this crazy world but ya'll know how it is, sometimes they still ask for Goldfish instead of Cheez-its and you find yourself wondering if you should be doing more.

The 502s are fun as hell and I didn't stop grinning once during their show tonight.

An artist friend who first registered the "Art by AI dot com" URL passed away years ago and I occasionally wonder how rich he'd be if he sold it to some tech firm today.
...or just kept using it for his art.
