Infinite poems!

Youse guyses like abstract poems?

Check out this neat tool by Keith Enevoldsen.

I like to think of it as a nice little commentary on the value of abstract poetry in general, especially the emotive varieties. If value can be found by the observer, does it matter if value was intended by the writer? Is it even required to HAVE a writer?

It also brings to mind cool little thoughts about the human ability to recognize patterns, and if, truly, it is the basis of all human intellect.

I think, really, the website ITSELF is a work of poetry, and a highly technical one at that.
The idea of crating poetic code that itself creates MORE poetic code, and so propogates in it's own way, is super, super neat.
