Here's a bit from one of my first web poems, Alpha Betty's Chronicles. No particular reason I'm posting it except that 1) nothing new in the shoot, and 2) I wanted to see how it looked in the blog.
The formatting was originally determined by a computer program. I was much under the sway of Charles Bernstein and Dante Piombino's "A Mosaic for a Convergence" at the time -- you can find the link on arras.net.

Nice piece. Serious and fun and color beauty at once, if you will.

Each Stack Frame represents a function. The bottom frame is always the main function, and the frames above it are the other functions that main calls. At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.
Posted by: Guy at January 18, 2004 08:24 PMTo address this issue, we turn to the second place to put variables, which is called the Heap. If you think of the Stack as a high-rise apartment building somewhere, variables as tenets and each level building atop the one before it, then the Heap is the suburban sprawl, every citizen finding a space for herself, each lot a different size and locations that can't be readily predictable. For all the simplicity offered by the Stack, the Heap seems positively chaotic, but the reality is that each just obeys its own rules.
Posted by: Archilai at January 18, 2004 08:24 PMThe most basic duality that exists with variables is how the programmer sees them in a totally different way than the computer does. When you're typing away in Project Builder, your variables are normal words smashed together, like software titles from the 80s. You deal with them on this level, moving them around and passing them back and forth.
