Typography. Nothing to do with Triathlon

I love typography. Typography, defined by wikipedia, is:

Typography (Etymology: typos—type, graphos—written) is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). [1]

Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and clerical workers. Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users.

I have been surfing the internet a lot these days, and here are two really cool examples of typography, internet-style. The first is If by Rudyard Kipling...

The second one is a poem by Taylor Mali, but I can't find the title, like, you know?
