I wouldn't have expected to, though... however, I would not have expected that the program I wrote to learn how to use Visual Basic 14 years ago would still be available on the Net, either.... heh. -bill PS I like this comment submitter form that shows you the preview as it goes!

As you probably know from the song idea generator and such. But it goes way back. I think it's awesome that the page you linked to for Oblique Strategies still has the card drawing program I wrote in Visual Basic back in 1994 or something (go look, oblique.zip, I wrote that!). I have also bought a deck of cards. They can be very helpful. -bill I love this sort of thing. As you probably know from the song idea generator and such. But it goes way back.

With regards to writers' block, the last <a href="http://www.fawm.org" rel="nofollow">FAWM</a> spawned the "<a href="http://www.paulturrell.com/challenge/" rel="nofollow">Hoopshank-Wille Songwriting Challenge Generator</a>". I think it makes a nice addition to your list up there. I think the shaker is a highly underrated piece of musical equipment!
