Ars Bloggetica

Less is more, they often say.
Then why should margins work this way?
For photos grow from side to side,
To make this webpage extra wide.
The edges once were neatly tight,
As pictures held but narrow sight,
But now our minds are running wild,
And senses roused are always riled.
The content once was naught but food,
But topics soon became more crude.
So bankers, Belgians, Olympians too,
Have carried out their vicious coup.
Alas, the times are changing now,
But do not fret: we still know how
To take the trivial, make it stick,
And make you miss the subtle trick.
Food is timeless, as we all know,
For when it leaves, we, too, will go.
It is our lifeline, spice, and soul,
And now — and ever — makes us whole.
truly inspirational. I am moved.

… and by that i of course mean “nice poem”.

haha no no… it scales nicely here too (ff3), i just needed something physical and concrete to mention before moving into the abstract area of topics and content.

… and by that i of course mean “why thank you”.

Wait, is there a coming reniassance? Maybe you guys could do a fusion piece: the old and the new together, like tuna fish and investment bankers, or something that carries forcefully the combination of food and capitalism? I don’t know, just some thoughts, vague though they may be. :)
