Because this project lives online, I’ve used a fair amount of technology to get it there. First, I converted all the articles1 present into plain text files, which are viewable here. Then, I used John McFarlane’s venerable document preparation system pandoc, along with a short script, to compile the text sources to HTML using this template. The compiled HTML is what you’re reading now.2

To host the project, I’m using Github, an online code-collaboration tool with the version control system git under the hood. This enables me (and you, dear Reader!) to explore the path of revision even more, from beginning to end, based on my commits to the repository. You can view the repository and its changes and files at my Github profile.3
All of the articles on this site are linked together hypertextually (i.e., like a webpage). This means that all you need to do to explore the creative threads linking these articles together is to start clicking links. However, if you find you’re looping around to a lot of the same articles, you can head back to the index and click through the titles in order—that article contains the titles of all the other works in this project.

Alternatively, you can click the lozenge (◊) at the bottom of each page. It’ll take you to a random article in the project, thanks to this javascript.
If you want to experience the earlier projects in something resembling the original orders, previous and next links are provided at the bottom of each page, next to the lozenge. Sometimes, there are more than one of each of these, or there are none, dependant on the structure of their original project.
