I recently came across "spritz", a way of reading online texts one word at a time, but with adjustable speed. I don't think I'd want to read a novel that way, but for the first or second or last reading of a page of flash, I've enjoyed this. You can add a "spritzlet" plugin to your browser (see http://www.spritzinc.com). I tested and recorded this for one of my flashes here: http://bit.ly/spritzprayer. Something odd happens when you switch from 350 wpm (which is fairly slow) to 500 wpm or higher...as a reading method, this seems very suited to flash. Thought I'd share this with you.
I saw your post some stuff about this. Pretty damn interesting. Can always count on you to be square on top of everything awesome.
Txs Shel. Anything to help me procrastinate and not finish my manuscript... ;-)
Procrastination is the germ and the wellspring of all serendipity. Interesting, Marcus.
Very good point, Jim. I think you're right. Good timing for your intervention!
Good to see your fine perspectives here again. Now... get back to your manuscript.
