I wonder if "making something" as a tribute to Aaron would be appropriate. This article puts a lot of emphasis on "code as poetry" and that really resonates with me. So maybe today I'll make something. For Aaron.

My tribute is to stop using twitter and other walled gardens so much and to start publishing my content to the open web again. Even for smaller things. I started by sharing my thoughts about Aaron's passing on my own website: http://benatkin.com/2013/01/12/rip-aaron-swartz/ http://benatkin.com/2013/01/12/rip-aaron-swartz/ I noticed that since he does the old style of blog comments, that if you ever left a comment on his blog, you can type a search like this into google: "Ben Atkin" site:aaronsw.com ...you'll get a list of the comments you made on his site. I don't think he ever wrote code just for the sake of code. I think he wrote it for a larger purpose.
