Peppy Hare: http://twitter.com/peppyhare
Peppy was my first twitterbot, and is my favorite. All my others have been shut down since twitter changed their TOS. The bot just tweets a random quote of Peppy from
StarFox 64 once an hour. I had to update the bot when twitter switched to oauth only, but the benefit to that is that now the twitter client shows up as Great Fox.
The whole things is just a simple Python script, and runs as a cron job on my server.

No real coding here. I was just curious and put together some data for how to spell "shit" the way Clay Davis from The Wire pronounces it
Rob Liefeld Loves Exclamation Points: http://bentheo.com/liefeld/
This started out as a joke with one of my friends, but turned into a fun little project. A python scipt runs every half an hour and uses the twitter api to download any
recent tweets by comic creator Rob Liefeld. It figures out how many exclamation points he used, and then writes it all out to a database. I then wrote a simple php page
(my first in many years) to pull the info from the database and display it. I used Google's Chart API for the graphs, which I am now a really big fan of.
Burger Enthusiast: http://burgerenthusiast.com/
I registerd this domain a while back with the intention of blogging, but that didn't really work out. For some reason a lot of my projects end up abeing about twitter, but
twitter is huge right now so I guess that is good. This one is simple but I really like it. I search twitter looking for any photos about burgers, then pull the most recent 100. The script to pull pictures in written in python, and the
main page is in php. I used just a little javascript to have the photos auto-refresh and to hide any photos that can't be loaded so there aren't weird blanks.
