        It’s like finding the needle in the haystack.

        Now you need to find the next needle in the even bigger haystack over there. And so on. Fuck, I hate what the internet has become.

    For a while there was a VR app for Google Earth that allowed you to visit museums virtually. This is a wonderful use of modern technology.

    Beautiful works!

    If viewed on an iPhone or iPad, you can take it into AR mode and drop the piece on a table in front of you, then walk around it. Don’t know if that works on Android.
