1) Sleep in a tent in my Brooklyn backyard all winter (2009-2010)
2) Post thoughts and ideas that I believe could be useful to others
2) Match every blogpost with a strange, creative act in public
Reason:
I sleep in a tent because I like it better than my bedroom (though I haven’t tried a winter before). I’m not sure if many other New Yorkers can relate to that. However, I think my sleeping arrangement is tied to some things that affect us all, like our configuration of public and private space, the way we treat the environment, and the integrity (or not) of our communities.
I’m glad to share what I hope will be clear, interesting thoughts online. However, it makes me sad that the internet is in many ways the most public place we have. (Where else do we feel as free to explore, ask questions, imagine futures, or learn about other people and what they’re doing?) Because of this, I plan to match every post with an interactive public action that sheds my anonymity a little and tries to help other people shed theirs.

Consider recording the public action to further connect your distant (and therefore limited to being simply) internet friends and/or readers
