thank you. I certainly amuse myself. Glad I amuse others as well.

I love the phoenix. And yours is intriguingly abstract, and very elegant. Fitting.

The connection to the prompt is kinda weak, but I love these pictures. This would be even cooler if you shot yourself from the same angle and made yourself the same size in each shot.

The vaguely economically literate part of me feels the need to point this out.

Someone had to pay for that lunch, even if it wasn't you. This is the meaning of the phrase "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

The Ocaml quicksort algorithm hides a lot of work in List.partition. Still, I like it because it reads like a clever mathematical definition of a sorted list.

Is this C#? It seems very Java-like, but not quite Java.

As for tasks to do with Code, I was just looking through the Task list and got a few ideas. Some I might keep for myself, but here's one you might try:

Build a random BACKRONYM generator. The user submits a word and it generates a BACKRONYM for it based on a probabilistic language model (trigrams will probably do) constrained by the first letter for each word.

I am amused. And it's economic stimulus season.
