hi stuff!

it is mostly trial and error but here are some tips:
- on osx, try using pico in the terminal to edit the images
- avoid edits to the very top of the file as can break the image
header and prevent the image from displaying
- try cutting a large chunk of the file from the middle to the end and
vice versa
- compressed formats like jpg are less predictable and therefore more
fun

rock,
jake
