Our father, Jack O’Neil, passed away last night at his home.
Rest in peace.
Original site statement below:
- This site is done by Daniel X. O’Neil and Kevin J. O’Neil
- Jack O’Neil is our father
- He lives in Sewickley, outside of Pittsburgh, PA
- He is opinionated
- He has written Letters to the Editor of both the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the (now-defunct) Pittsburgh Press
- We haven’t lived there in a long time, so we’ve not consumed them in the course of the daily news
- We got all of these Letters to the Editor to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from their website after another brother had discovered them
- We are serializing them here
- We disagree with a goodly amount of this printed matter
- That’s not really important
- Text is really all that counts
- This site is really just a series of seconds takes on original texts
- It’s an example of hypertext enjambment
- Here’s two more examples of the same sort of thing: GoogObits and GoogOgraphy
- All of which are a part of a larger concept known as the Derivative Works Movement. More on that here
- We invite your comments
