This Website Has Secrets

There's an easter egg hidden somewhere on this site. Can you find it?

It's a throwback to a hidden message I included in my first few websites. In 5th grade my dad handed me a copy of some website editing software. Web design has been a creative outlet since.

One of the reasons why I blog and keep this site up is to collaborate with folks.

I regularly publish poems and random things with a creative commons license in the spirit of creative collaboration. If you see something that you want to work with, run with it. Let's create something.

Stuck? Here are some creative ways to tell stories online:

Dynamic Paintings of The Future

It calculates how close you are and enlarges the frame as you teeter close.

It creates the sensation of depth by merging inputs based on the distance between your eyes and your closeness. No polarization tricks. No glasses. No staring at a dot or crossing your eyes required.

The technology is seamless as air.

If you like, it recreates the weather in your precise location and spawns pixels of rain drizzle on a wet day and flashes of light during thunderstorm warnings.

It emits your daily does of vitamin D, which sets off a chemical response which pumps a mental association of childhood adventures into the crevasses of your brain.

The lifetime warranty guarantees if you spend at least five minutes a day looking at the painting, it will add two years to your life, or your money back—to whoever you specify in your will.

Art reviewers agree it reinforces the where of your belonging. They call it Essential.

Economists agree the price point for such an advancement in technology will make it accessible to every household. They call it Viral.

Dead artists agree in their well-catalogued notebooks it is the fulfillment of a prophesy. They call it Inspiration.

It can track the movement of a nearby fly and recreate the image of the fly’s legs touching glass.

If you like, you can teeter extra close and smash your hand against the paining, which responds and displays the fly fleeing from your input.

But the true magic is this.

Of all the reprints, none are the same. And in each instance of the billions of blinking eyes, large and small, that look into reprints of a Dynamic Painting, never—never even once, is the image the same as it was a millisecond ago.

They call it Window.
