text_TOWER was a collective writing project started on 9/11 to elaborate a tower of words. To date, if printed would stand 67 feet high with contributions from over 200 people including a lot of folks I see on FB 25 years later. Reading thru the entries, it feels like some of them could have been written today as the sentiments of war and terror are still timely.

Testing out the rebuilt INTERNALATIONAL DICTIONARY OF NEOLOGISMS. Still some bugs and not sure if I can fix how the special characters in the neologism breaks the link. Other than that the basic beast should be back online. Last neologisms entered were from 2019. Michael Helsem was one of the most prolific neologismistos

Writing Dubuffet’s Titles was a collaborative hypertext wiki hosted at joglars.org, built on PhpWiki 1.3.10. The project took Jean Dubuffet’s painting titles as prompts for a networked sequence of poems and writings, inviting contributors to add, edit, and interlink pages freely.
The wiki was active from February 15, 2003 to September 3, 2005 — a span of roughly two and a half years. Over that period it accumulated 84 named pages of writing

I have quite a few memories of this house because it had a lot of smaller bedrooms that all had an inconnecting closet and we'd play hide and go seek in the closets. And an old player piano.
Photo 1: This photo of my mom in the cornfield has to be my favorite photo of her. In a way it captures a side of her that I never knew.
Photo 2: my mom, my aunt Gerry and my grandpa William Rezin who died when I was quite young so I have no memories of him other than photos.
Photo 3: This is William working his cranberry marsh in the 1940s. All the harvesting and sorting was done by hand (& back) in those days.
Photo 4: The Rezin family house in 1928.

On today's new episode of The Tonearm podcast, we welcome Zeena Parkins — composer, multi-instrumentalist, and one of the most distinctive voices in experimental music — for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the closing of Mills College to the making of a one-of-a-kind electric harp, from lace scraps pinned to a board to composing for some of the most inventive choreographers working today.

Parkins discusses her recent album 'Lament for the Maker', her ongoing work 'Modesty of the Magic Thing' (inspired by artist Jay DeFeo and the instruments of Lou Harrison), and what she's bringing to the Big Ears Festival. Along the way, she talks about growing up in Detroit, studying at Bard, accidentally joining a circus theater troupe in Europe, and how the harp's physical impossibilities are the most interesting place to work.
