The future is weird Pixel Sorter is a twitter bot that processes images through certain filters to generate a new image. Quilt Bot, on the other hand, turns images into pictures that look like quilt fabric. Behold: a generated art loop created by these two bots replying to each other.

WTF, Apple itunes? I registered an account with my email, attached it to my paypal account and I still can't sign in to itunes. I just want to download the free U2 album. I try to get itunes to send email, but nothing shows up. I am sad. I want free music. Hope me?
