Here are some of the projects I hope to feature on jeblog. I write them here so that they'll be in the record and I won't be able to weasel out of the actual production of these productions.
1. Phoku. That's my neologism (I think--that is, I think it's a neologism and I think it's my neologism) for haiku combined with photographs.
2. Codexuality. I will be reading books, discussing as I do so the materiality of the book in the supposed location (the internet) of the supposed death of book materiality. It will also be an exercise in the post-literary nostalgia for, and romance of, the book. Proposed books: Walden, by Henry David Thoreau and Tristam Shandy by Laurence Sterne.
3. Spiritual Exercises for Cyborgs. Proposed projects are the Metta Machine and Wallpaper Blake. If I explain any more, it'll just spoil it...
4. Googlenooza. Exploring, tweaking, escaping (?) the stranglehold of Google on the zeitgeist.
5. Digital Editions. Multimedia editions of works in the public domain. First up: Incidences (1939) by the avant-garde Russian writer Daniil Kharms.
6. Digital fiction. Occasional forays into digital narrative. Planned projects: Columbia Depths: A Personal Geography.
7. Existential Game Log. Looking at how we (I, anyway) game the actions of everyday life; an explication of the ludic nature of Homo Ludens.
