[projects] Random Projects

This has been a week of random projects. Recently or newly on my plate…

  • Dialogue Grapher: A friend and I have long wanted to create a collaborative idea framework– think message boards, except each message is a single line and connected to several others in a graph, and the whole structure is publicly editable (see an example, or the diagram in my LJ bio). It could be used to communicate complex ideas, as a new kind of wikipedia, for refining Lakoffian arguments, and even to explore the unconscious structure of society.
  • General Sudoku-Maker: I have no interest in Sudoku puzzles, but the current 6.001 project is an automated Sudoku solver, and I think I’ve figured out a method for automatically constructing Sudoku puzzles of arbitrary difficulty. Anyone have ideas for Sudoku variations that would make such a program worthwhile?
  • “Lips” Trixie: I was the lips, with two possessed hands that stripped off clothes that no one could see anyway because I was covered in black. It was fun, and I think went well as choreographed-goofing-off April Fools experiments go. The weirdest part was how differently people treated me when my face was black.
  • Rocky Party: I didn’t know it was asavitzk‘s birthday until too late (*pout*), so I hosted anyway. I hope the other half of the split party had fun, because we certainly did. And for once, no casualties! AND, at girlygothic‘s insistence, some of us finally played…
  • Rocky Monopoly: The Rocky Monopoly game was a great success! It was easy to play, and got lots of people paying and receiving (minor) sexual favors. I’m going to incorporate some new innovations over the next week. Tell me if you want me to bring the game to your party.
  • Mental Reorganization: I’ve been reorganizing my mind to relegate my subvocal “I”, increase my sensory awareness, become more conscious of the collective unconscious. Good fun.
