Garkov -- Garfield + Markov chains
Garkov is a comic strip generator that uses Markov chains to synthesize new Garfield strips based on transcripts of several hundred existing strips. The output varies nicely from plausible to surreal to downright incoherent.

HURF DURF METAFILTER ANALYZER
I've spent the last few days conducting a comprehensive review, and constructing an annotated index, of the use of variations of the phrase "hurf durf" on Metafilter. The index covers 357 separate comments (and 10 posts) on various parts of the site, in chronological order.

Blues Name Generator
Riffing on an old idea/joke that came up in Metatalk today, I've put together this little blues name generator. Because why should
Leukemia Sweet Pepper Tyler have all the fun?

bunt cake: a webcomic thing
bunt cake is a new comic thing that I make out of baseball cards. It’s not about baseball, it's just literally made out of baseball cards. So if you like your childhood ephemera gone at with a pair of scissors and then recontextualized against random photographic backgrounds with dialogue juxtaposed there upon, this thing is right up your alley.

Metafiltr
It's Metafilter
2.0. Hopefully to blossom as a clearinghouse for absurdist mefi humor, including
bizarre flash apps. This is brand-stinking new; if I'm omitting some good self-reflective mefi blogs or stunts or misc. content, please let me know!

Manifests - an album from Josh Millard
I recorded an album in February (as did a few
other folks), and I've put together a site to house it. There are song pages with lyrics and background (
e.g.); I've scanned my notebook for the month and provided some
how-I-work commentary; and there are some
drawings to accompany the whole thing as well. The album is available to for listening and download from the site.
Please tell all of your powerful and influential music-industry friends.

Pedestria
A new photoblog of people passing on the street, with impressionist writeups. Intended as a five-days-a-week regular feature. (Sort of a people-watching spiritual companion
laundryroom swapmeet.) Feedback, suggestions, criticism welcome.

laundryroom swapmeet
I live in an apartment building. We have a laundry room. The laundry room has a table. People put things on the table, and other people take those things away later.
It's a laundry room swapmeet. I take pictures of the things and write about them. Hilarity more-or-less ensues.

Refi: Metafilter in Review
I spend too much time on Metafilter (and especially Metatalk). I've had I-don't-know-how-many conversations about the site—what it is, what it was, what has[n't] changed, and such—and so I've decided to go spelunking. I'm going to go back and read Metafilter, and blog it. I'm planning to read every n-hundredth or so post, starting from the beginning, and I'll be trying to note various observable trends—users, memes, tone, conversational structure, etc. It won't be rigorously scientific, but hopefully it'll be reasonably objective. Specific analytical notions welcome. Likeminded co-author proposals welcome. Cash welcome.
