Can we use bit.ly? How about ie.ee?

Woulda Shoulda Coulda
The deadline for this draft was June 3 midnight. The next morning, I'm already thinking about what I could have included.

It is an accident of history that computers are programmed with text; Inca quipu, Mayan and old world weaving, and Jacquard machine-woven brocades were designed and coded visually and tactually. The read-only memory for the Apollo Guidance Computer was literally a rope of wires hand-woven through magnetic cores[A]. Programs may be created, compiled, and evaluated with other sensibilities; ...
