Dear All,

I've adapted the <<.tip >> macro to feature the fav icon and used it as
bullet points in an experiment. <<.fav "foo bar">> now renders the cat and
the text instead of the lightbulb (find attached)


I started out thinking that the icon would represent a "voice" within the
text, and that the text would be in a speech bubble: being a non-linear
thinker looking for for a name for a new macro I occurred to me that maybe
the iconic cat could have a name and a distinctive voice, separate from the
tone used in documentation. The literary device is employed in texts like
Douglas Hosftader's Godel Esher Bach and Stafford Beer in is "Later in the
bar" dialogues.


I was also thinking of different views of the cat, a head shot where it
looks cute and rounded, looking at the viewer in a Bigette Bardot kind of
way. The blue cirlce aspect of the favicon evokes Blue Note Records kind of
aesthetic. I adapted the fav macro.... the <<.tiddles "for bar">> just for
fun: I was thinking about the cut and paste aesthetic of the fanzine... The
voice needs to be distant from the world of computers and be able to carry
and signal a degree of irony...

Anyway, if there was an suitably stylish kittens face looking towards the
text, it might do the job better than below and not infringe copyright as
above. Its outside my skill set at the moment. Here is a screenshot:
