Because we are at about a 2nd grade level w/r/t image editing and also, in general, posting on non-twitter accounts, it took us roughly 75 minutes to make these 5 images that appeared in our story yesterday--a story that, we're told, was almost too compelling, dangerously engaging-- and now the story is gone which we understood would happen but also is a shame, given our efforts, so in this case we reject the ephemeral, we insist on once again sharing with you all these cool presses who will be at our Philly conference in two weeks, and for which tickets still remain, as you will see if you visit our website.
