My favorite method of encryption is chunking revolutionary documents inside a mess of JPEG or MP3 code and emailing it off as an "image" or a "song." But besides functionality, code also possesses literary value. If we frame that code and read it through the lens of literary criticism, we will find that the past hundred years of modernist and postmodernist writing have demonstrated the artistic value of similar seemingly arbitrary arrangements of letters.

I think that the richer and deeper documentation is on the web, the better off we all are.

Twitter is not art. But it inspires me in the way that art used to inspire me.

Favoriting tweets has become a form of acknowledging that you've read what someone else has written.

It's not plagiarism in the digital age -- it's repurposing.

I think that writers often try too hard in the name of expression, when often it's just a matter of reframing what's around you or republishing a preexisting text into a new environment that makes for a successful work.

You can't show me a sentence, word, or phoneme that is meaningless; by its nature, language is packed with meaning and emotion.
