One of the most liberating things I did was not define too closely what Projects was about.  I came to view it as, literally, any of the projects I was working on. Although my focus was always clearly on creative writing, let's start Part One with some of the most eclectic pieces.

The Jib Generator (with bonus Anti-Jib abilities)

Of course, you've probably heard the expression "I like the cut of your jib." But what is a jib? Who knows!  Increase your jibbly knowledge after only 30 seconds of play with this silly little game. A fine introduction!

My Fridge Is Too Loud

A journal entry describe my kicking and smashing the inside of a fridge.  File this under "representative".  Posted in the first month, this was me realizing I had a place to unload some of the strange troubling things that I felt.  To admit publicly to such a moment of bizarre weakness was a theme that carried throughout Projects run.  I attempted to confront myself and do my best to admit and describe my own tiny piece of the human experience.

GENtI

A small windows maze game for download that will amuse for at least 5 minutes while having your morning beer.  A recreation of a DOS game made with my friend Kevin in High School.  Paid $50 each for its creation, by a guy wanting a solitaire-like add-on for his application.  We spent three weeks on it: talented coders, aye, businessmen, nay.  Vintage Turbo Pascal maze-generation code was salvaged and grafted onto a Delphi GUI.

The Vegas music hums in the background

I've written a lot of weird crazy shit in my days; this is a favorite. I'm pretty certain I wrote it after coming down off a magic mushroom trip.  I always had trouble sleeping after those occasions, in part because I tended to drink a lot of coffee during.  A weird meandering tale taking it's inspiration from an old style text-based adventure that switches styles at least three times, makes just enough sense to cause you to wonder WTF?!
