** Latour Litanizer
"When writing Alien Phenomenology I found myself wondering, what would happen if we put ontography, Latour Litany, and carpentry together? Heres one simple take, a 'Latour Litanizer.' It uses Wikipedias random page API to generate lists of things [...] Like all Latour Litanies, this little gadget underscores the rich diversity of things. It also reminds us that human beings are among them, since a large number of Wikipedia articles describe living and historical persons."
—Ian Bogost
This is a simple version of Ian Bogost's method of generating "Latour Litanies" in emacs as a further (or furthering) exercise in ontography, metaphorism, and carpentry.
** Litanizing
~M-x litanize~ will generate a litany in a new buffer
~M-x insert-litany~ will generate a litany at the point
** Further
