Java + Guava 16 (Guava isn't super necessary, but it made some things a little less annoying to write).
Alright, you're supposed to be working? How about a program that actually writes real Java code, that actually compiles (though it doesn't do much).
It's difficult to demonstrate the animation, but this program writes a Java program using either the default dictionary (250 common English words) or a newline delimited file (taken as a command line argument), and types it to the console one character at a time at human seeming speeds. Make sure to run it yourself because this post doesn't do it justice. When it finishes, it waits 1 minute, then prints a lot of blank lines to the console, and starts over again. I tried to write it to make various parameters reasonably tweakable.
Also, normally I would put this into more than one file, but to make it easier to run I smushed all the classes together.
