Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

SUNDAY SERMON: Alan Cox on Open Source Politics
Ohhh I do hope by now you’ve checked out our running manifesto on digit.iLL Funk, our Open Source philosophy of music. I must admit that ever since building the language and doing a massive amount of research, I’ve fallen into a somewhat utopian tunnel vision of a world where people frolic with free music bursting out of their ears and ice cream bars from their fingertips. A bit different from the utopia I conjured when I was a fist-pumping earthtone rocking headwrap wearer in college, but really the only difference is that back then, the ice cream bars were made of soy.
Anyway, super computer engineer techy wizard Alan Cox in the above video shows me that I am not alone. The Open Source is in fact quite political, and at the risk of sounding heavy-handed, I might suggest that – after years of feeling demystified and convoluted – I might have found a revolution to believe in again.
