just think of php. it's so postmodern. we've come up with a language that indexes things in your utter control of the theme of the index itself. tag clouds. is that not postmodern stuff, in the sense that knowledge is given by relevance rather than structure? i think it is.

eh, I can't find the ones I liked from last year. Here's one:

but is it worth it? the relevance of what most people choose to be relevant? that is the question, with many political implications, like having a media-run society or putting boundaries to it. but if so, what could those be?
not easy.
just post a damn poem.

"If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"
awesome lines

I also love Roald Dahl's poetry, but they're a bit vulgar and not so beautiful in the conventional sense.
Also, I love your name.

namesake, that's the basque for raven or the shy-one :)
since you come up often with the dead horse subject, here's the original story so i reckon:
i got there starting from this wonderful record:

I deleted Google Earth off of my comp because I wasn't using it, but I will check it out later.
I'd like to check out Portugal one day. And many other places that my sisters are obsessed with, and that NTers live in.

oops. that was not v da gama but fernão de magalhães (aka magellan). the first guy who travelled around this wretchèd orb in a nutshell. only crazy idiots breed in that forsaken part of the country.

I wasn't taking a shot at you or anything. When I read that part of the thread, it clicked in my head to do just exactly that and post a nerd comment.
It just jumped out at me when I read who posted it.
For the love of G-d, haha.
I have no reason to think you are pretentious, I like your posts ... I'm just an ass. It's what I do. I make jokes that make me laugh, and make crappy puns that make me laugh and sometimes (usually) I'm the only one.
I didn't mean to damper your day or anything, it in no way was directed at you, it was just a play on words based on the simple fact you didn't want anyone to make a wise crack, haha.
It's like putting a drink down and going to the bathroom in front of an alcoholic.
:D
I posted a poem too, haha!

Portugal is nice. wonderful food, a somewhat neglected landscape, but altogether friendly and peaceful.
in a word, a paradise that feels like hell.
