Jack and Jill went up the hill and it looks very pixilated.

[Intro] Artist John Klima uses a programming technique called constants to make
typically cryptic code readable and how! It is fun to read, logical and prose-
like. Based on the original Jack and Jill rhymes, it seems as if a
deconstructionist feminist has teamed up with the children’s book series Dick
and Jane. There are a lot of transformations and emotions to account for in
this story. But it isn’t just a gutless source code story; it works! Executable
Jack and Jill. You can even program their behaviors. Are you a feminist or a
chauvinist? How alluring is that pail? Source code as poetry and poetry as
program. Get that pail. Go Jill!
