- Another experiment with Wittgenstein’s Tractatus
Spent some time hacking over the weekend. And here’s the result: a minimalist interactive version of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus.

And by peeping at the conference program, I realized there’s another hypertextual version of the Tractatus: the one created by Luciano Bazzochi from the university […]
