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:

Don’t kiss me in the rain

I know you hate cliché lines
So let’s find another element
Kiss me
When there’s a choppy leeward wind
While jaywalking, trespassing, the next time we rob a bank
When we miss the exit
Every time I forget a word
Kiss me while I’m blowing my nose
Tell me when it’s not cliché to kiss you
How about after a love poem?
Because I really want to
