I like this idea. I have a nice idea percolating for a website that might make me some extra cash, but would just be this tiny thing. And yet, it's too big because of some of the other things I want to do, and whenever I sit down to start it, I stop before I get going. Realistic project expectations for the win!

Ugh. Anyone got a tl;dr?

Screw that. I'm not typing in the .com because most browsers fill that in anyway.

Meh. I'll read it later.

God damn, it is so low-commitment they even did a Rothko.

The coffee one reminds me that I've been meaning for several years now to spell out something in binary using Pepsi Ones and Coke Zeros. But I have even less commitment than this person.

Writing "R. Mutt" on dark brown toast is not a good idea.

Hey! Hey! HEY! Don't mess with the Rothko sandwiches! You're just not deep enough to UNDERSTAND the Rothko sandwiches.

I'm deep enough. In fact, I'm so deep that I just ate a Rothko sandwich with a Warhol can of tomato soup. Then another can of tomato soup. Then another can of tomato soup.

The self-help dustjackets got more laughs out of me than plenty more intense efforts. Take Control. Give Up Control. Profound, man.

I'm disappointed.

That seems entirely self defeating.

Ahh, this was really fun, and it was refreshing to see someone having such a good time with their art! Pretty inspiring stuff, thanks!
