    Let's exchange impressions, insights and easthetics, let's talk haiku.
    A haiku is a japanese form of verse and follows the followng rule: first sentence has five syllables, the second seven, the third has five syllables again. And that's it. Very Zen.

    Do a google search on "haiku" if you want to know more.

    Here is one by me, translated from dutch of course,

    The evening bird sings
    under a briefly lit sky.
    Rolling rumbles roar.

    My computer sucks,
    It's slow and pure misery,
    I want a new one.

    Adam, what keeps you
    from purchasing a new one-
    Have you no money?


    How about this one by Butthead:

    Huh huh huh-huh ha
    Huh-huh huh huh-huh huh huh
    Ha huh huh-huh huh.

    I'm a full time student,
    No time for work, and no money,
    So I'm stuck with this.

    Nerd haiku!

    Back in the 1200s, samuri spent their time duelling in defense of their respective schools and composing haiku about cherry blossums. Now, in the 00s, nerds spend their time flaming in defense of their respective operating systems and composing haiku about nerdy things.

    Here are a few:

    My favorite is:

    Windows 98 crashed
    I am the blue screen of death
    No-one hears your screams

    Am out of coffee
    Put more water on to boil
    Coffee elixer of life

    It is friday night
    Listen to techno and code
    Nerd in paradise

    Star Trek vs. Bab 5
    Opera vs. Mozilla
    The stuff of flamewars

    Chaos, disruption
    The newsgroup is invaded
    Do not feed the troll

    Adam,

    I know how that feels:
    been there, done that, could not buy
    the t-shirt. It s*cks.

    Edit: added "Adam,"
