So I made this today. It was really my first time doing anything significant with Java Script. Lucked out when @sunnydeveloper shared a template.

I was at that very moment searching for easy CSS slidedecks. I wanted to make a multimodal poem. Kind of reflecting on time and the quality of writing. Sometimes ideas burst and other times they retreat. I was just thinking about time not always being an indicator of quality when we are talking about writing.

I also wanted to share the poem because I am not at #NCTE15. My exploration into the open web really began as I tried to bend the oldest genre in the world with the newest technologies that emerged.

I am also looking for a remix machine. Many of us still mourn the loss of tools like Zeega and Popcorn but maybe we are the remix machine. I need to learn positioning in terms of CSS/HTML. Making cool art and poems would be a fun way to learn. Maybe a community of those who want to play with images and words ....oh wait.

That's #walkmyworld. We do play with images and words. #Walkmyworld has its roots in NCTE. Sue Ringler-Pet and Ian O'Byrne and I began to explore poet-laureates through technology. Our first session was in 2008. We focused on poetry for two reasons: back then if you fore fronted technology people avoided your session; a b:) poetry allowed us to create non-sensical esoteric titles that helps with session approval.

So maybe that is what I will do with #walkmnyworld this year. Just keep playing.
