If you liked my Latour Litanizer, a tool for creating lists of objects, then you'll also like Darius Kazemi's new little gizmo, Objects that are enumerated in Graham Harman's "Prince of Networks". Here's what he did:

I wrote a script to parse the original text [Prince of Networks] for things that are probably lists of objects, and then did a little manual data cleanup. Once I had the data, it was easy to create a page that gives you a random object.

Not only is it a nice example of a meta-philosophical act of carpentry, like the Litanizer, but also it's a lovely example of the uses of open-access publishing. Kazemi was able to perform textual processing on the PDF version of Prince of Networks to produce his system.
