Reminds me, in a strange way, of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies card deck[0] 
- I first heard about them in an article about either Talking Heads or U2 and 
their sessions with Brian Eno (I think it was David Byrne/Talking Heads, but 
not positive)... The idea was that when you are stuck and needed inspiration, 
you would pick a random card out of the deck and go where that took you...
