Final Project

Unfortunately, there will be no video.  However, here is the original passage juxtaposed with my cut-up:

Stand close to me, Starbuck; let me look into a human eye; it is better than to gaze into sea or sky; better than to gaze upon God.  By the green land; by the bright hearth-stone!  This is the magic glass, man; I see my wife and my child in thine eye.  No, no; stay on board, on board!—lower not when I do; when branded Ahab gives chase to Moby-Dick.

Starbuck, when branded in on board!—lower into and chase the magic thine human a green to Moby-Dick the hearth-stone!  This is my child.  By close gaze stand into sea or sky; than to me, glass eye.  No, not where on board, Ahab me; stay I do; better God gaze to let land; it is better to look eye; upon by the man; I see no than my wife bright gives. 

 And a small sampling of the binary: 

01010011 01110100 01100001 01101110 01100100  01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01100101 01110100 0110111101101101 0110010101010011 01110100 011000010 01110010 01100010 01110101 01100011 01101011 01101100 01100101 01110100 01101101 01100101 01101100 01101111 01101111 0110101101101001 01101110 01110100 011011110110000101101000 01110101 01101101 01100001 0110111001100101 01111001 0110010101101001 0111010001101001 01110011

 (Which goes until only just after the second semicolon.)
