e:poetry was greatTonight I got to present my latetest edition of the poetry toolkit and the results that I got using it for the site. If you haven't seen it click on the epoetry link in the search box.
All the words in the poems now link back to the site search engine. One of the arguments against hypertext in epoetry was that it didn't really offer the reader a deeper look into the text. In this case I have overcome that by having the actual words link to searches of the journals, so that you can follow each words back to its orginal context, as well as, explore more about the author of that phrase. Not only that but, because its local you could meet the author, or at least contact them through email or IM. What would you say, "I liked the poem you wrote." They wouldn't have any idea. It really brings more meaning to the phrase, "You're a poet and you didn't know it."
I am coining this reality e-poetry in case I already havent. Jesse is in the class too which is great. My code can't write poems about him because he deleted himself everytime he wrote. He is my idol anyways - especially s ince I learned that he has his breakfast delivered!

WednesdayTime for a day filled with meetings and chair shopping. Does anyone know where to buy those funky chairs you kind of lean foward and kneel on. I want to buy one but Office Max only had a crappy one and after my [search]"butterfly conservatory"[/search] butterfly conservatory drama, I am not planning on going to Canada to check out ikea. Then off to digital poetics class where I can demonstrate my newest poems.
I am almost about done with the grading module for the teaching sites. If you see the may grades link in your user link list - don't ' freak out. It is just a test of the emergency grading system.

My Bath TubThe new mansion has the best sitting style bathtub ever. Unfortunately, there was not enough hot water to fill it so I had to carry a pot of boiling water up the staircase.
