the frustration of coming up with a REALLY good homework assignment idea for a class session you've already taught 🙃

@aparrish 😱 what was/is it? is waiting for next year too much in "professorate-time"?

@se "design your own markup language (and renderer for that markup language)" for this week in comptypo. i don't think it would have quite worked with the class structured as it is right now. but maybe next year if i decide to teach it again!

@aparrish sounds great! the class has made me think a lot about the biases in computer systems - e.g. what you were saying yesterday about cartesian dualism - and how i have absorbed them without (k)no(w/tic)ing...

inspired by the first exercise, i have been thinking about how digital text encoding would have been, if designed by non-western / non-severely-dualist people...

i guess this homework (w/c)ould be a good exploration of that ((im)possible?) reinvention
