- My yearlong PerformanceOfEverydayLife project, which doesn't yet have its own name, is far from abandoned. Starting this month I'm keeping a private journal, and when I have distilled something into a mobile concept, I'll post it here.
- Some progress on using ChucK towards my musical ends. When that distills into mobile code I'll probably link to it here too.
- Concert in Urbana on Leap Day (Feb. 29)! So far plans are laid to include musics tuned in 17-equal and 11-limit JI, Palestinian folk music, round singing, Klezmer, udderbots, and fretless guitar. Theater pieces might interlace with music pieces. I'm organizing.
- Several projects for others - Super Mario Bros. arragement for ballroom dancing, saxophone quartet commission, Brün's Non Sequitur VI harp part transcription, rehearsal mockup of Stearns's Orpheus in the Frosted Field, oh, that reminds me -
- Seventeen Tone Piano Project Phase Four singalong and concert in Houston April 26-27 announced a week ago. Focus on microtonal songs in any tuning.
- For all your internet pleasure, I just shelled out sufficient $$ to resurrect udderbot.com! I want to keep adding things to it, but I'll only do that if people ask for certain things, probably.
- Lots of unmentioned SDaS projects, which I'll mention here. The teaching-a-class is out for now, to be replaced with workshop mania. Sci Fi Radio Show, Living Labs, Germinars, AIEOU are premises for regularly irregular meetings.

Helloagainsir,
I want to share w/ you a project along, perhaps, similar lines to your "Performance of Everyday Life".
For th past few weeks, I've written a poem for each day in a physical Book of Days that I've made from scrap paper & carry in my breast pocket as I go about my business. Each line I write comes from actual experiences (external or internal) that I have on that day, altho I like to encode th information with metaphors & juxtapositions of things that don't necessarily go together except in my mind at that moment. I generally write one line at a time, sometimes without bothering to look at what line comes before it. Thus, each poem emerges as a chaotic, nonlinear, disjunct, cryptic platter of words. At best, I think they reflect th authentic chaos of everyday life (which emerges as a chaotic, nonlinear, disjunct, cryptic pattern of sensations that we have th daunting daily task of making some sense of).
I like to think of it as a post-modern Epic Poem, emerging bit by bit as each moment of each day unfolds into th next. It seems to me that a man walking dogs, taking naps, & cooking tacos has as much claim to th title of Epic Hero as anyone else.
So, without further twaddle & guff, I will give you th link to my Book of Days:
