Taper #14: Sonnets is now out! I’m biased, but it’s an especially exciting issue with 28 diverse works of computational poetry (broadly), and, as always, they are all free software for you to study, share, and modify. You can sample a few in 5-10 minutes, this feed will wait! taper.badquar.to/14/

Taper is a really interesting publication of tiny poem-programs (each is less than 2058 bytes). I can't wait to see the rest. taper.badquar.to/14/index.html

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

what luck it has been to serve on the editorial collective for this issue of tiny computational spells, talismans, hauntings, seances, divinations, covens, potions, tricks, treats, a taylor-swiftian take on her lucky number 13, and several game-like pieces, including one from me 𓃥
Taper #13 : Superstitions (the Fall 2024 issue) is out!

A gift for you all from author/programmers and editors, whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, both or neither.

The 29 works are wide-ranging engagements with language and computation, and all are free software.
