hello.

this is an experiment.

for a while now, i've stood about, composing good little html that
did what it was supposed to while -- on the sidelines -- i've been
indulging in a growing fascination with graphic design
and typography.

unclear. i continue to beleive in the merits of explicit semantic
rendering, and to be less than convinced that html, in any form,
is a suitable platform for even approaching the richness of
the implicit semantic renderings a skilled designer can acheive
in "old media," back in that crazy gutenberg galaxy
we're all so ready to flee.

it's a test.

this is where i mess around with all these crazy netscapisms
that for years i've been telling everyone to not use. this is where
i play around and see what kinds of fun i can get. this is where
i catch up with the seven billion years of net time
i just missed by walking into the other room to look at
what jeliza's got on the hopper.

so? go eat a hot dog bun. eris loves you.

seriously, how am i supposed to tell you how to use all this
crazy stuff intelligently if i don't try it out? and it's about bloody
time. i've finally snapped far enough out of my crustacean ways to
acknowledge this stuff can do some good; now it's time to figure
out how to wield it for the side of goodness. or at least see
if it can get me a pizza.

good. get out of here before i slap you upside the head with a zen master.
