So I finally have a job lined up after something like 8 months of unemployment, but I'm also completely broke at this point.

One more #picotron data format for the road. pods are used to represent any structured data, and used by the clipboard, disk storage (each file is a pod), as rich text, and as inter-process messages. Don't know if I want to display pictures in the code editor [by default] though!
