Projects I did in 2014

This year I was a little less prolific than last year (40-ish projects compared to 75-ish projects). But for the most part I did fewer throwaway projects. Oh also one of my 2014 projects is a book I wrote that was a year-long project that took up a lot of my free time in 2014. Also not on this list are some talks that I gave and all that kind of stuff, most notably my How I Won the Lottery talk from XOXO 2014.

Anyway here is the list of things I made:

• Clicker Maker. Generating endless "Cookie Clicker" style games.
• Farewell Letter Generator. Say goodbye to your coworkers in style.
• Corpora. A collection of small corpuses of

So here's a thing that's been bothering me for a few weeks.

Lauren Hallden created Name My Bar back in April (press coverage here).

A couple weeks ago I saw people passing around the Hipster Business Name Generator. It's basically the same thing, although there are certainly some implementation differences. Also, that person is selling domain names via referrals.

Here's another thing that happened two weeks ago.

I released a toy that lets you generate indie game descriptions using Markov chains of the descriptions of 2015 IGF entrants.

##Hymn to Inana

Holy Inana, returning heroic youth!
Lo! You are the one who had to post that and have that caption, it wasn't necessary,
You are the one who gets royally abused,
O Goddess! You are the one who is even relevant in the first place!
You are the one who didn't have them at vue,
You are the one who is really gone!
It is you who Keeps Climbing Those Things When She Knows She Can’t, It is you who got stuck in his house namely his daughters room!
