Semioticbot is a language creation application. Using the prefixes and suffixes of the English language, Semioticbot fabricates words then seeks out signification on the web via a Google image search.
If an image is returned for the word, it is displayed in the background along with a link to the image; otherwise a "No signification found" message is returned.

This version of the Cartographic smashup uses simple object oriented PHP to return a page with two random static Google maps using the Google Static Maps API.
Using the canvas tag and javascript, the maps are composited with 2 randomly produced gradients creating a unique image that can be printed or saved as a PNG.
Google, however, limits requests to 1000 static maps per day, so there is a limit to the availability of the application.
