As written upon a blank canvas:
This is Art?
The gentle and unsuspecting
Contours and colours
of a Body
Intently declaring that Truth
Is Truth, whether
Shining brightly, through windows,
Or reflecting dimly in
A mirror.
Though misunderstood,
This is Art.
Sing, therefore.

Virb is a girl because it is a "vehicle," the same way ships and cars are girls.

Virb seemed like it needed a little encouragement so I'm here to cheer it up. It KNOWS it's better than mySpace and facebook, and it doesn't want to be like those sleek, popular, trendy girls anyway, but sometimes it feels lonely.

Put your hand under its chin and lift its face to the stars. Say, "Go get 'em, Virb, Baby." Say. "'Atta girl."
