Week 1 Homework

1. Sign up for the A2Z Google Group
2. Add something that inspires you to this page of references.
3. Find a source text and manually perform one of the mashup techniques below (or one of your own invention.) Create a webpage with the results using some combination of HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript. Host the page on github pages (or your own server). There is no need for programming for this assignment, it's just about getting set up in an environment and starting to think about creative ways to play with text. However, you may choose to include animated or interactive elements if you like. Think about creative ways for the page to be "self-documenting", i.e. instructions for the text mashup, references, etc.
