Leevi Lehto Google poems

I'm probably silly for thinking this is interesting, but alas, someone has finally made a program that writes poems based on Google searches in formal "patterns" such as the sonnet and sestina. Of course, I plugged my name in there, and came up with this wonderful, Ashbery-rivalling pantoum...

You're not silly. You're flarfy! I actually kind of like that pantoum -- did you, by the way, hear the poem Ann Tardos read at the New Years Marathon? Made up entirely of names of people who read at the Marathon--but she switched first & last names according how she wanted it to sound.

Posted by: Gary Sullivan at January 6, 2003 04:39 PM

I did a sonnet using my name. It wasn't as good as the pantoum you got. But, curiously, you wound up in it:

"The world must be mediated by
Kim Stefans"

Posted by: Gary Sullivan at January 6, 2003 04:46 PM

No, I missed Ann, sounds like a good piece, or at least I'm sure she read it with the proper European merzish tone.

I'm wondering if I could use the pantoum for something -- yes, it's an automatic flarf meister. It has almost visionary episodes when it starts dropping those strings of names, like Alan Ginsberg.

This was a great link. I tried a couple of pantoums. I edited/broke the first, and posted the last verse of the second in tact.

These secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.

Posted by: Randolph at January 18, 2004 07:09 PM

But some variables are immortal. These variables are declared outside of blocks, outside of functions. Since they don't have a block to exist in they are called global variables (as opposed to local variables), because they exist in all blocks, everywhere, and they never go out of scope. Although powerful, these kinds of variables are generally frowned upon because they encourage bad program design.

The rest of our conversion follows a similar vein. Instead of going through line by line, let's just compare end results: when the transition is complete, the code that used to read:

Posted by: Dudley at January 18, 2004 07:09 PM

When a variable is finished with it's work, it does not go into retirement, and it is never mentioned again. Variables simply cease to exist, and the thirty-two bits of data that they held is released, so that some other variable may later use them.

Posted by: Hamond at January 18, 2004 07:09 PM

Inside each stack frame is a slew of useful information. It tells the computer what code is currently executing, where to go next, where to go in the case a return statement is found, and a whole lot of other things that are incredible useful to the computer, but not very useful to you most of the time. One of the things that is useful to you is the part of the frame that keeps track of all the variables you're using. So the first place for a variable to live is on the Stack. This is a very nice place to live, in that all the creation and destruction of space is handled for you as Stack Frames are created and destroyed. You seldom have to worry about making space for the variables on the stack. The only problem is that the variables here only live as long as the stack frame does, which is to say the length of the function those variables are declared in. This is often a fine situation, but when you need to store information for longer than a single function, you are instantly out of luck.
