Regex Crossword
From the webpage:
Welcome to the fantastic world of nerdy regex fun! Start playing by selecting one of the puzzle challenges below. There are a wide range of difficulties from beginner to expert.
From the “How to play” page:
Regex Crossword is a game similar to sudoku or the traditional crossword puzzle, where you must guess the correct letters in the horizontal and vertical lines of a grid. In Regex Crossword you are not given a word to guess, but a pattern that tells you which letters are allowed.
The NYT Crossword editors don’t need to start polishing their resumes. 😉
On the other hand, I can foresee office competitions!
Or at conferences? Someone needs to carry the word to the Balisage organizers

Every Lost episode visualized and recreated
Every Lost episode visualized and recreated by Nathan Yau.
From the post:
Santiago Ortiz visualized every episode of the show in the interactive Lostalgic. It’s a set a four views that shows character occurrences and relationships and the lines they said during various parts of each episode.
The first view, shown above, is a bar chart vertically arranged by time, where each row represents an act. A profile picture is shown whenever the corresponding character says something. The next two views, the network graph and co-occurrence matrix show interactions between characters, and finally, if you want to relive it all over again, you can choose the reenactment, and the animation will cycle through the characters and scripts.
I have a confession to make before going any further: I have never seen an espisode of “Lost.” You have been warned.
Despite my ignorance of the show, this appears to be a truly amazing project.
I am sure there are fans of other TV shows who would volunteer to do something similar for their favorite show.
Of course, I would like to see them use topic maps, if for no other reason than to enable decentralized work flow and diverse semantic viewpoints of the same content.
Can you imagine an American Bandstand project on Github?
What TV series would you spend this sort of time on?
