Nerdly Jaikus

Named Geek Site of the Day on March 21, 1996. Cool, huh?

  1. "Sourcerer" 

    2. Sourcerer am I --
Source code, the lingua franca
      of my arcane art.

  2. "Code Probe" 

    3.   My ROMS, code-laden.
Trace into the O/S now:
  Forbidden knowledge.

  3. "alt.fan.lemur.haiku" 

    4.  Lemurs on skateboards --
Prosimian skatepunks, dude.
"Skate and frink, or die!"

  4. "Haiku++" 

    5.  Haiku double-plus:
The object-oriented
   Poetic format.

  5. "I Knew Alvin Toffler,
    Alvin Toffler Was a Friend of Mine,
    And You're No Alvin Toffler!" 

    6.     My feet are bleeding
From surfing the cutting edge:
    I'm in future shock.

  6. "Screensaver" 

    7.    My screensaver runs --
Multicolored lines cascade.
     No unused cycles!

  7. "ST:The Next Haiku" 

    8.    Precious green liquid
  Pooling upon alien soil.
Bones says, "He's dead, Jim."

  8. "Kludge" 

    9.    Yep.  A motley clump
Of C code and ARexx scripts
   Does the job nicely.

  9. "Sleep deprivation is a powerful creative force." 

    10.    The program compiles,
I compose email to friends,
    All is well tonight.

  10. "Meanwhile, write me a Haiku, before I kill Penn Jillette." 

    11.    Go ahead and kill
America's most wired man.
  See if I care, dude.

  11. "Haiku for MIT" 

    12.       Box of floppy disks,
Pocketful of ball-point pens --
    Look, here comes a geek!

  12. "15 minutes to deliver e-mail? NO WAY!" 

    13. Computer people
Want everything right now.
There's no pleasing them!

  13. "Familiar Surroundings" 

    14.     Keyboard staccato,
Rhythm of the line printer,
    Pizza in my hand.

  14. "Exhausted Hacker Crashes" 

    15.   Plant face in pillow.
Dream code armadas firing
  Shots over rough C's.
