Jeremy Bornstein wrote a beautiful piece of steganopoetry in response to the HD-DVD takedown freakouts. Snip:
ZERO AND HER ORIGIN
Zero, the number said to be discovered
Nine times by ancient magicians, was
Found again by a mysterious order of
Nine modern alchemists, who built
One machine after another, until finally
One exploded with fascinating results.
No fire emerged from its
Twin engines, but instead
Nine small automata crawled out,
Denying the proposition that energy,
Seven millenia or more in the accumulation,
For most purposes, remains
Ever constant, throughout the
Three ages of man's civilization.
(…) and so on. Link to entire text. (Thanks, Karen Marcelo!)
