Tom, no reason why we can't also have written poetry -- and performances
for when we are together. Some "slam" poetry as well as much rap is not
recorded, and therefore has the same passing existence of an unlogged
IRC channel. I would be fun to have a wiki for more durable poetry
(github unfortunately would be a barrier to many). Wiki formatting will
make even that a challenge, so we'll need to instruct folks to use a
<pre> block (c4l wiki recognizes that, right?).

I like Karen's proposal of establishing an oral tradition. But I've also
been thinking about version controlled poetry in github or on a wiki, and
hyperlinked/linked data poetry. For that matter, does IRC poetry count as
oral if the channel is unlogged?

Karen Coyle's nerd poetry was a fun idea from out of left field. I
decided
to give it a try while I wait for the shuttle. I believe her idea was to
write poetry about coding, but I was inspired by the proximity of
Valentine's day to instead write a cheesy love poem in code.
if (roses == 'red' && love == True):
print 'Hello My Darling'
self.append(you)
See you all next year...I hope.
