As you know, we've come to believe that the WWW exists primarily to give people with too much time on their hands an outlet to cry out into the ether for help. Meet Winter.

A hyperkinetic ode to ASCII art set to a pulsing beat. I don't know if it house or techno or what. I go to Charlie's to 2-step fer chrissake. I just know that it's very very loud, very very pulsing, and very very cool.

Veiling your obsession in quasi-academic trappings doesn't make it any less obsessive (though it does make it more amusing).

OK. It's official. There's a support group for everyone on the web. I haven't found the one for one-armed Estonian hair-lipped duck herders yet, but I'm sure it out there. BTW, have you ever seen a hair-lipped duck? It's tragic.
