Everyone Chatting in Silico

Tim was showing me some fun iChat-ish CSS he was playing with when I began wondering whether you could make a remix tool which would take novels and reformat them to look like instant messages among the various characters.

So, I used his layout and manually whipped up a chat from the first few pages of "Everyone in Silico".

I probably won't develop the idea, but other industrious remixers might enjoy the challenge. Red letter chatting bibles and IM remixes of koans might be interesting...
