        I laughed. I cried. I mostly cried, actually, but in an edifying kind
of way. This "page"--probably the first one I've seen that isn't neatly
circumscribed by that term--is a tickertape of pathos: a libidinal torrent
insterspersed with worried quests for work and health, incrementally
refining efforts to spell things right, strange and vague ideas about the
world, pipe dreams, out-of-the-box hacking and cracking, Compuservisms
("go" whatever), abiding mysteries, and, once in a blue moon, a
well-crafted query...
