Row Row Your Boat Gently down the stream

Merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.


"The system of the “universe as a whole” is such that quite small errors in initial conditions can have an overwhelming effect at a later time. The displacement of a single electron by a billionth of a centimetre at one moment might make the difference between a man being killed by an avalanche a year later, or escaping."


This class seems to be intended on exploring the possibilities of what digital publishing can do, where does it go, where did it come from, why is it the way it is now? These questions are questions because there is no back story on digital publishing. There are no ripples in the lake from the boat named SS epub ( I think boat names are suppose to have womens names because its some weird tradition of personifying an object with intimacy). These are new grounds being broken by those of us who wish to choose to par take in creating these epubs. Our ripples in the lake will be felt just as the ripples of the book written in the library of Alexandria are felt today. On a basic level this class attempts to achieve the knowledge of how epubs work. At its most intimate level ( I should have called it at the love level or something dumb like that) its attempting to figure out what digital publishing means, its an attempt in trying to explore the standard and break it, its an attempt to spark an idea to create a large enough ripple in the lake that everyone feels it.
