Five Years Today See five years of updates in one day.

I’m shutting down FiveYears.today at the end of March. I’ve sold nearly all my domain names or let them expire, and turned off every web site except one. I’m free!

No, never met but reading this post brought back a lot of great memories. Even finding RbtR and Rockywoods. Btw, one way I provided some internal structure so it keeps its shape is using the grosgrain tape to bind the internal seams.

A collection of five hand-drawn greeting cards, each representing an artist's interpretation of AI-generated art.
