R Money Music Video
I made a music video envisioning Mitt Romney as a rapper named R Money who likes to rap about how wealthy he is. There is an interesting synchronicity between some aspects of hip hop culture and wealthy media figures like Donald Trump and Mitt Romney that make for a funny juxtaposition, I think.

Shakesborg ~ Automated Rhyming Lyricist
This is one of those projects on which I spent way-too-much time, and probably won't make me wealthy unless I time-travel back to the late 1500's shadow writing for talentless nobles. ShakesBorg is a poem/song generator which allows you to choose rhyme and meter of various types. It uses various forms of approximate and internal rhyme and has been known at times to be precognizant. Feel free to add your favorite rhyme schemes or generated poems to the Wiki (but please be gentle on the server since ShakesBorg is only approximating its optimal algorithm due to the unavailability of quantum computing coprocessors).

MeFi Navigator
Mefi Navigator (annotated screenshot) is a handy GreaseMonkey script that makes navigating MetaFilter threads a bit easier. A picture tells a thousand words - look at the screenshot! Here's a description anyway: The main thing it does is to add a dropdown box (and forward and back arrows) next to each comment which allows you to go directly to the user's other comments in the thread. It marks comments from an admin or the original poster. Also, a little 'back to top' arrow is added to each comment. If you have any problems, email me at mefinavigator at googlemail dot com.

Voices in the Dark
"Audio books and stories read aloud by real people for free!" is what it says on the front page, and that's what it is. My wife and I, and a few other folks, have recorded dozens of short stories and a few longer ones (including Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom) and put them up for free download in high quality MP3 form. Up since December 2004.
