Haikus on bit literacy

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Apple Store event last night.

I talked about the beauty of emptiness in the digital world. This reminded me to post these haiku-like poems from the good folks at Humana, who are studying Bit Literacy and wrote these clever responses.

On Email

A full inbox is a full mind
Emptiness is stress-less
Delete and file with swiftness!

Of Todo Lists

Todo is the center of all work
The center has only one time and place
Do todo or do not

About Media

To be full is joy
To be crammed full is pain
Be full, delete the useless

Of Photos

Choose what you remember
A blurred photo is not good memory
Let it go, delete the blur

On File Naming

What is in a file name?
A file becomes its name ...
or it becomes nothing

(Thanks to Bruce Spencer for sending these along.)
