A visitor asks: "But what is this website for?" Consider what would count as an answer. A tool is for its purpose the way a hammer is for nails — but what is a folk song for? What is a courtyard for? Some things are not for; they are played. If you need this site to be for something, let it be this: it is a place to watch meaning happen at a speed where you can see it.
