• i love you both. you should definitely meet up!

• interesting! my first reaction was, i wonder if it’s similar to demos, snarfed.org/2012-01-12_i_l… … but no. they’re also beautiful, procedurally generated, and underappreciated…but this both hinges on randomness and truly aspires to fine art, neither of which demos do, really.

• my huffduff-video.snarfed.org AWS account is in this state right now. i have API keys so i can use awscli, but can’t log into web console or manage billing. 😂😢🤦
