|
|
;; a simple version of Ian Bogost's method of generating "Latour Litanies"
|
|||
|
|
;; from random wikipedia titles as an exercise in ontography, metaphorism,
|
|||
|
|
;; and carpentry
|
|||
|
|
;;
|
|||
|
|
;; currently uses random wikipedia titles as elements. might be extended to
|
|||
|
|
;; use other lists in other futures.

|

|
;; 'M-x litanize' will generate a litany in a new buffer
|
|||
|
|
;;
|
|||
|
|
;; 'M-x insert-litany' will generate a litany at the point
