Eventually I opted to use Microsoft Word's inadvertently hilarious AutoSummary feature to summarize all of the Raccoon entries to date.

I'm working on a secret project. Want to play along?
Ideas, cultural products.

For a long time I've loved photocopiers.
I've been thinking a lot lately about misinformation.
This reviewer writes: "[This music] becomes difficult on a whole other level than normally difficult music."
Enduro also released Input 64, a compilation of unreworked C64 game music from 1985-89.
Further reading: Brainstorming at Zombie City Hall.
I'll put that in the If I Had Limitless Time file.
Enough stalling—time to grade some student drafts.
