The grant says it's seeking "makers of all stripes: webdevs, game developers, bloggers, photographers, musicians, journalists, filmmakers, writers, podcasters, software developers, and more"[1]

But Coil forbids "Pornography and other obscene materials (including literature, imagery and other media) depicting nudity or explicitly sexual acts; sites offering any sexually-related services such as prostitution, escorts, adult pay-per view, adult live chat features; sexually oriented items (e.g., adult toys); adult video stores and sexually oriented massage parlors; gentleman’s clubs, topless bars, and strip clubs; and sexually oriented dating services."[2]

Lately I've been tweaking and curating the output before posting it. It makes it a bit less magical but much funnier. It turns out that seeding your brain with random starting points like this is a potent creativity-boosting technique.

I tried using Bayesian spam filtering to classify the results as Funny or Not Funny, but it was unable to detect funniness just from which words were present in the message.
