CONTEXT THAT IS COOL
BECAUSE IT IS NOT CLEVER

It's not the medium that makes knowledge content valuable.
ONLY the content really makes something great.
The edgie tools should only be used if they express
the inherent meaning of the content.
The following websites are at the edge because
they DO NOT spoil rich meaning with distracting gimicks.
