Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Wack Factory

The Wack FactoryArtCluster is an interactive digital whiteboard Web site with a large Groupboard (620 X 550 pixels). Used to frequent the place a few years ago. It was pretty quiet today when I drew this pic, but there was one friendly, anonymous chatter present (transcript below).
Wack Factory 02Mod of the ArtCluster original. MS Paint, though a humble program, allows for zooming in, also has the millions-color palette. Paint also has 3 Undos, and Groupboards don't have any. Woe to the doodler who uses Flood Fill without checking first to make sure all the closed curves are really closed!
