NOTES

Thinking about different ways to bend language. You can paste the code from my entries into your browser's Javascript console and run the programs there (I included HOWTO as an entry to try to explain this without giving too much away for anyone who wants to discover on their own). All the code snippets are janky and susceptible to breaking because of the MICRO//MACRO 200 character limit, but I'd like to think they'll be worth a fun few minutes or maybe serve as a departure point for other ideas.

• UNICODE MONKEYS is what happens if you just bang on a keyboard with no rhyme or reason. the easter egg is that it uses min/max values corresponding to a unicode block range so you can easily change it to generate different gibberish. Learn more about Unicode Blocks

• HEARING LOSS asks for text and turns it into something approximating what an almost-deaf grandma might hear. if takes out letters that i found were associated with types of hearing loss. the list of items to remove is one thing that can be changed here.

• CAESAR'S MESSAGE is a caesarean shift cipher, like a decoder ring. you enter a message and an offset number from 0-25 to spin the ring and encode or decode a message. for example, a message encoded with an offset of 3 can be read with an offset of 23. Learn more about Caesar Shift Ciphers
