Random Shopper: randomised consumerism ohmigod. this is genius.
I built Amazon Random Shopper. Every time I run it, I give it a set budget, say $50. It grabs a random word from the Wordnik API, then runs an Amazon search based on that word. It then looks for every paperback book, CD, and DVD in the results list, and buys the first thing that’s under budget. If it found a CD for $10, then the new budget is $40, and it does another random word search and starts all over, continuing until it runs out of money, or it searches a set number of times.
…
What it bought, I won’t know until it comes in the mail.
technologically-generated serendipity!
Shipment 1 (Linguistics and dissonance) arrived 5 days ago.
