"I'm a big fan of [Oblique Strategies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...), a deck of cards printed by Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno containing cryptic aphorisms about art and creative work. I do most of my creating with a text editor and terminal, so I made a similar tool for programmers. It includes a tiny JSON API, and a command line interface a lot like *nix fortune. I wrote the site in Clojure and Clojurescript, which was a joy. (Everything but the CSS was written in s-expressions!) The CLI is a super-simple Node application. You can see all the code [here](https://github.com/ecmende...). Code I wrote is MIT licensed, and the text of all the strategies is CC-BY-NC, so you can remix them, build on top of them, or use them in projects of your own. Hope it helps you break through a few gnarly problems!"

The joke I nearly made moments ago is also a 10-month-old YouTube comment. Is this how it starts? What then am I to do? http://www.google.com/search...
