Geek Haiku I

Everything I read
Is in a Firefox tab
What have I come to?

For context... I said the first two lines of that in a chat with a friend tonight, talking about how i don't read books much anymore. He called it poetic, so I made it a poem... The first in what may become a series of bad geek haiku. In fact, I invite everyone to write their own Geek Haiku and blog it. Who's game?

Duo and a Question

1) Switching to a Mac, /
I'm amazed at how ugly /
the world used to be.

2) Digital Grampa /
can't wait to see what this boy /
will add to the web.

3) How do you do line endings in comments?

Len... oh, the troubles of Drupal. I think you actually need to put in <br>s unless you're in the rich-text view... but I can't even tell you for sure! I'll try and find out though!

it's not very geeky i guess, but...

the sea flows swiftly
rush, slow, ever changing tide
til at last it breaks.

Isn't it supposed to be 5-7-5?

I think you have 5-6-5.

You could say:

Everything I read
Is inside a Firefox tab

Will,
it's all about how you pronounce Firefox. Fie-yre-fox, I say. So there.
