I feel like someone could redub Weird Al's Word Crimes as Web Crimes and make it about stupid web design/code choices ppl make

@skep, I did add a very small shake to it to convey the retina-eroding feeling, so good to hear that it works!

Really is a handy selector! Only issue I've noticed so far is that it messes with my usual way of doing back to top links, but I found a fix that works (per-section links as opposed to a single global one).

Anyone who knows the word for "active at dawn and dusk" immediately wins some respect from me. Haven't listened to much yet, but liking what I hear so far!

I chose that name because it evokes images associated with my music. By the way, it also refers to an altered state of consciousness. Thanks for listening, appreciated.

WOW, both of the last two poems have hit like Godzilla's foot. Incredible. Like an ant could ever pass for a wasp! Also always love a cheeky little trans(?) true name imagery.

Thank you! It's part name allegory and part "this person knows you so well that they know the essence of you that can't be translated into language", which is not too different from a self-chosen name at the core of it. I'm glad to hear that the last two poems have resonated.

I won't lie, I never expected anyone to actually read that given the current state of site, haha. I should probably set aside some time to work on it someday.
I agree. And it made me think an extra time why I'm one of those small web-fellas that just go "fuck your phone, this is made for a pc". Am I going to make a responsive version of my site because of this perspective changer? Quite possibly.
