Mastobot

Create a generative Mastodon bot using Tracery. This is a version of Cheap Bots, Done Quick! that runs as a single bot.

A Glitch project, so you can easily ‘remix’ it.

Swardspeak

Swardspeak (also known as gay speak or “gay lingo”) is an argot or cant slang derived from Taglish (Tagalog-English code-switching) and used by a number of LGBT people in the Philippines.

The Swardspeak meanings of famous names are wonderful. E.g. Julie Andrews means to be caught cheating because the Tagalog for to be caught is hulì, which rhymes with Julie.

Apple Music Companions

Control Music.app with modern recreations of the iTunes 10 MiniPlayer, the Mac OS X Tiger iTunes Dashboard widget, or the mostly-forgotten Music Player from the first Mac OS X Public Beta.

Amusingly, I can’t try them out because my Macbook Pro is too old.
