I reflect the perceived grandiosity of the explication by laying a groundwork of meaning/less/ness in this ephemeral electronic commentary. Or whatever.

I'm just wondering if the NYT is cool with this piece and if so shouldn't a drawing or painting from one of their photos be fair game? Now this is interesting.
