Yeah random poetic playtime! I enjoyed the Generator blog a bunch, although it just proves how much free time other people have on their hands, but fun none the less. The moon poem above was created using Word Mosaic and is pretty nifty. You may start out with a linear and cohesive poem or statement, but then it gets scattered and disjointed and more powerful or poignant because of that shattering of order.
Part II
I had heard about LibraryThing before and it sounded like a neat idea, although with as many books as I have at home it would be a daunting task to get them all added, although probably worth it in the long run. A couple of sites I'd heard of are similar (like SwapTree ) but you actually post book you want to sell/get rid of books, searching by title or by location of the buyer/swaper. It's like a big online, a bit dysfunctional, but still free library. Right now I'm adding all the books I can easily see from my chair to my LibraryThing account, but when I get the time, I think I will get to some serious cataloging (though not to the extent of putting on my own barcodes, I am not that much of a dork, although that does remind me I have to track down a few books that I lent out and have yet to get back *growls*)
