A quick word from John Cleese
Now, connecting different ideas isn't difficult, you can connect cheese with motorcycles or moral courage with light green, or bananas with international cooperation. You can get any computer to make a billion random connection for you, but these new connections or juxtapositions are significant only if they generate new meaning. (Source.)
This is of course what my automated text blogs do: generate connections at random, rapidly. The open question that makes this an interesting set of projects for me, though, is how much meaning the reader imbues the texts with.
