I found this chapter to be very interesting. I like regular poetry as a writing style normally but this enters a new world. I enjoy that is a wacky and sometimes doesn't make a lot of sense. I found Nanette Wylde’s Storyland (2002) to be very fascinating. The random story that on the surface seems like it doesn't make much sense but I think that is part of its appeal. In this chapter he directs his focus on early forms of electronic lit, something I find very cool. Creating with something so new and not fully understood must have been such a cool time.
I also did one of the create your own poems on the Cent mille milliards de poèmes site and this was so cool. The concept of clicking buttons to create with what other people have created is really cool. I went in blind with my poem and just clicked the line I liked best. I think it came out well, but it makes little sense. I like the ending lines, I think they sound well together and not like they are completely random.

I agree! Generating random poems from a larger work was interesting, and I also enjoyed experimenting with it!
