Colophon

The heart of this webpage is the 2bitcharactergenerator, by 0x72, found via Everest Pipkin's great tinytools.directory and generously released via a CC0 (public domain) license. The generative text is inspired by early experiments with computer and poetry such as Allison Knowle's House of Dust. As a program XPUB believes in creative expression as not from scratch, and like language, shared and in conversation with all that has come before.
