- Ruled Notebook 3 The self-lengthening ruled sheet, now with a full set of controls: faces, rule patterns, paper, margins, alignment, line numbers, binding holes and PNG export.
- Ruled Notebook 2 A ruled sheet that is as long as the writing on it: set the face, the size and the rules, and the page finds its own length so nothing ever runs off the bottom.
- Ruled Notebook A plain lined notebook page — what you type in the box appears on the ruled paper, with the font, size and line spacing all adjustable.
- The Sunbeam Tour A fictional setlist archive kept from the cat's side of the house — seven booked dates, six venues, one cancelled show, each night logged track by track and printed as its own gig poster, billed by length so the longest track of the evening headlines it.
- Nakigoto Radio A late-night talk programme that exists only on tape — three two-minute episodes, spoken in Japanese, each one complaint about how the world is arranged now, followed by the one thought the host has managed to have about it; on the third night a second host arrives to cheer things up and fails. A synthesised voice slowed on a tape deck, a four-chord bed that never resolves, and a J-card with the transcript printed on it.
- Point and Say A pocket phrasebook for absolute beginners in Hindi — fifty everyday and travel sentences, each carried by Devanagari, a katakana reading pitched at how the words are actually said, an English gloss, a word-by-word breakdown and a note in Japanese on why the sentence takes the shape it does, with the grammar it uses threaded through all fifty and twenty-two questions to answer one at a time.
- Cross Reference One month of the links page read straight through and set out as a monthly bulletin — thirty-two sources sorted into seven departments, each under its own title and annotated in Japanese prose written for this page rather than quoted from the source, and indexed by the six arguments that kept recurring and the departments they run through.
- Box Score The same run of machine-written stories as the Morning Edition sheet, taken as figures instead of prose — every score distributed, averaged and ranked on one statistical page, where choosing a measure redraws the field and choosing a story follows it through every plate.
- Morning Edition The recent run of a machine that writes one short story every morning — each set beside the three Aozora Bunko texts it was made from, the notes on what it took from them, its critique and its scores, in a three-column sheet that never grows longer than the screen however many mornings it holds.
- After Hours A fictional 1997 corporate website — a company that manufactures the sound of shopping malls — and six operators that push it through the transformations vaporwave is actually made of. At zero it is a sober Japanese business homepage. Every pink pixel that appears after that is the output of a process you can name: dye densities decaying, chroma bandwidth collapsing, halfwidth Latin falling into ideographic width, tape slowing, a room getting larger, a loop cut before its cadence.
- Running Hand A second handwriting generator, built the other way round: nothing is warped or thresholded. Every character is a path a pen takes, and the ink is whatever a nib leaves while travelling it — slowing into curves, drifting off the line, keeping its gaps unevenly, joining one roman letter to the next, and finishing every Japanese stroke with the 止め, 払い or 跳ね that belongs to it.
- Fair Copy A copybook that writes out whatever you type: every character starts as a printed Mincho form, then gets a slant, a size, a baseline error and a wandering outline of its own — fifteen sliders for the unsteadiness of a hand, and not one line of font.
- Galley Proof Paste any text and it comes back as a printer's galley — every invisible, counterfeit or accidental character struck in red pencil, the correction written out in the margin. Set each mark or let it stand, then copy the clean revise.
- Abnormal Editorial Ten fictional editorial spreads — bath houses where you can cry, bakeries that bake tomorrow's bread, parks where a single summer never leaves — typeset in the invented Aevith script.
