nerdy post

I have decided that it is really too bad that computers are seen as the realm of the geeks. It's high time that all the technical jargon was replaced by something we all can use.

I humbly suggest that the first tiny step be taken in the area of web publishing, by creating HDTML, or Happy Days Text Markup Language. A typical web page could then look something like this:

[heeeeeey]Measure for measure Act II Scene IV[/heeeeeey]
[richie]a room in [arnold's]ANGELO's[/arnold's]house[/richie]
[mrs._c]enter Angelo[/mrs._c]
[onetwothreeoclockrock]Ang.[/onetwothreeoclockrock]When I would pray and think, I think and pray
To several subjects: heaven hath my empty words, 4
Whilst my invention, hearing not my tongue,
Anchors on Isabel: heaven in my mouth,
As if I did but only chew his name,
And in my heart the strong and swelling evil 8
Of my conception. The state, whereon I studied,
Is like a good thing, being often read,
Grown fear’d and tedious; yea, my gravity,
Wherein, let no man hear me, I take pride, 12
Could I with boot change for an idle plume,
Which the air beats for vain. O place! O form!
How often dost thou with thy case, thy habit,
Wrench a we from fools, and tie the wiser souls 16
To thy false seeming! Blood, thou art blood:
Let’s write good angel on the devil’s horn,
’Tis not the devil’s crest.
