blogs = poetry/poetics/criticism. or = top 10 lists/unrequited feelings/dreams. in one sense, the codes are more easily accessible when staring at a keyboard (for those of us w/ 2-finger typing styles & no tech knowledge), but at the same time the code could be somewhat dictated by what possibilities we are limited to within the parameters of available fonts/spacings/etc. -- perhaps it creates a digital esperanto by which we discuss in similar codes items/ideas that might exist in disparate codes. there's a temptation to play w/ fonts/colors/spaces/etc. on here to create a sense of confusion, but again, my knowledge of how these things work is a bit spotty. maybe that's the point. it's like language and poetry and art -- we all make up our own rules as we go along, and if nobody coincides it doesn't really matter; we can step into someone else's code for awhile and gain something from it. hooray for anarchy.

by the way, my e-mail has been shut down; please update your list w/ whatever type of link my username creates.
