On a Lighter Note...

What with all the hubbub over algorhythmitext that Issue One produced, I'd like to present
something I was indirectly involved with over at the Wryting-L list. It began with me posting
some pieces called "More Keywords from Aromaland" which are created by putting some
keywords into Google, clicking onto the Google books area, and surfing only the pages
listed as 'snippet view' which gives a list of keywords for the text indexed, the thought
being to make an entire text out of keywords, and then to make other texts from those
keywords, like a cascade of indexing nodes, except there was no formalism involved,
I would just pick 3 words at random and click, and then when the "flavor" got too uniform,
I would change my search term.

Here is part of one of those texts:

Then what Jukka-Pekka Kervinen did was too, at first, I think, just remix them using a program that he wrote
like this~

~because he does that kind of thing, then he told me, reading them inspired him to come up with different versions
of that program until he started sending out texts like this:

Now these are all part of a longer wave of texts he simply titles (all the same)

...

So, finally I asked him to put them into a file, and if anyone is interested, it
is here:

If you aren't familiar with JPK, here is his blog:



In and of themselves they can be as interesting as one desires. I've found
they can be a good little archive of poetential connections when using
one's inner Venn-scanner, etc + plus some of them just sound cool to say
like:

John jet bring Themperapat physine moniferatastria

perapat physine alone should get a cookie

or

crooner pill blame Isaiah nick old maid handbag furbish
besides mucous Ho ho ho name tag banyan leonine

pretty excellent, and maybe not exactly new, but
J-P is just so like bright and all over it, and just leaves
such a crisp track in the wood, its good.
