Driving back from Muskoka today, we passed a double-length truck on the 401...a Frito-Lay truck towing two full-sized semi trailers, on the 401 in the afternoon rush. If I ever die on the 401 because someone didn't want to hire a second trucker to haul their corn chips, I'm gonna haunt someone.

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.
