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.\n<li><b>General Sudoku-Maker<\/b>: I have no interest in Sudoku puzzles, but the current <a href=\"http:\/\/www.existencia.org\/docs\/tiki-index.php?page=6.001\">6.001<\/a> project is an automated Sudoku solver, and I think I&#8217;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?\n<li><b>&#8220;Lips&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.existencia.org\/docs\/tiki-index.php?page=Trixie\">Trixie<\/a><\/b>: 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.\n<li><b>Rocky Party<\/b>: I didn&#8217;t know it was <a href=\"http:\/\/asavitzk.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">asavitzk<\/a>&#8216;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/girlygothic.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">girlygothic<\/a>&#8216;s insistence, some of us finally played&#8230;\n<li><b>Rocky Monopoly<\/b>: The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.existencia.org\/monopoly\/\">Rocky Monopoly<\/a> game was a great success!  It was easy to play, and got lots of people paying and receiving (minor) sexual favors.  I&#8217;m going to incorporate some new innovations over the next week.  Tell me if you want me to bring the game to your party.\n<li><b>Mental Reorganization<\/b>: I&#8217;ve been reorganizing my mind to relegate my subvocal &#8220;I&#8221;, increase my sensory awareness, become more conscious of the collective unconscious.  Good fun.\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been a week of random projects.
