Okay, so I know I want to tell some story or experience using words and possibly an image or two. General possible themes:
Art
Net
Gaming
Relationships
Religion
Depression
Religion sounds interesting springboard. I've been focusing on that subject a lot recently, and I think I could get an interesting piece out of it. The uncertainty of finding what one believes over what others have taught them can be confusing and depressing. Could make for an interesting dialogue telling a story.
I want to keep everything on one page, no frames. I could play with the css using javaScript, as well as make text or images change. I don't want to get too fancy with this: I want people to read it and figure out the story. And hopefully sympathize.

Ooo, interesting link..
Okay, apparently this guy is geeky enough that he not only has his own server sitting in his kitchen (photo of the server) but he does web code projects that are utterly awesome!

The project that I'm most interested in at the moment (seeing as how I am in class and specifically hunting for a way to fix my IE dropdown menu offset problem in my portfolio website, since it doesn't happen with FireFox or Safari) is the javaScript project IE7.js that makes IE5-7 become CSS standard compliant.

Net Art, huh?
So, I guess this can be my list of neat net arts stuffs:

By the way, that one's freaking awesome, though insanely long. Very intriguing how it tells such a deep story with only words and some repetitive music. Well timed, very meditative, I could reflect on this all day. If my eyes didn't hurt from the large print.

This ones is quite interesting. The idea of taking so much information and making a piece like that out of it... I can only try to visualize the coding involved, and I'm assuming database work was needed. It's impressive how many entries are in this thing.

I know this one was shown in class, but I really did like it. AGain, I think it was the text thing. How it tells a story but doesn't outright tell you everything.
I think I've figured out I'd love to do something with text. Or try to tell a story without saying much about a story. I really really really love the idea of having someone read through and figure out what's going on.
