Abbas Beydoun is a busy man and prefers to work at night, which is when we make our appointment. Over three hours, a couple of cups of coffee and plenty of phone and work interruptions, Abbas Beydoun, one of Lebanon’s foremost poets of the post civil war era, talks about his life, his experience as a poet, and about poetry in Lebanon to Camilo Gomez-Rivas. The war made life narrow and small With the start of the war, I stopped writing because I had a huge problem with the practice of writing.

How to make a Twitter Bot with Google Spreadsheets (version 0.4) – Zach Whalen Do you like Twitter bots? I know I sure do. I like following them, and I like making them. I also like introducing my students to bots as one way to do creative things in a networked digital context. That’s way, back in 2013, I cobbled together a simple tool built on a Google Spreadsheets that lets anyone create a simple bot without having to write any code. There are many other ways to make a Twitter Bot, but I like this approach for its clarity and hopefully its accessibility for non-programmers to start understanding how to think about language through programming.

An online philosophical poetry toy for poets and philosophers from the age of four up. “Enigma n” and “Seattle Drift” by Jim Andrews: The Cauldron & Net Editions – I ♥ E-Poetry When Jim Andrews published these poems in Cauldron& Net, Volume 1 in 1999, their original DHTML and JavaScript codes were compatible with the two main Web browsers of their time: Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 (IE). This was during the peak of what is known as the “first browser war” in which IE became the dominant browser in the market. At the time, each browser was implementing code differently, creating code incompatibilities that led to the practice of detecting browsers to redirect readers to different versions of the document, or determining what part of the code was executed in a specific session. Some writers opted to pick a browser and directed readers to view the work on that one, while others sought cross-browser compatibility.
