A Note On Procedure

Text for the dated entries of this blog was generated, daily, from the following sources & according to the following procedures:

1. George Oppen's 1968 poem Of Being Numerous
(1 line, from one of the 40 sections, generated randomly)

2a. Videos Being Watched Right Now, You Tube
(Most recent comment, at moment of viewing)

2b. The 12 Principles of Permaculture
(1 line from one of the 12 entries on the principles, generated randomly)

3. Various News Articles (news + content search, through google: "news" + "military" + "drones"; "news" + "climate change"; etc.)
(1 line, from selected article, generated randomly)

4. www.chatroulette.com (text chatted by various partners)

Lines were pulled from the sources according to a randomized sequence (new each day), until all four sources had been exhausted. Each entry therefore has at least one youtube comment, one Oppen quote, one news-text, and one chat, though some have more than one of each; the last line of each entry always represents the final voice in that day's sequence to be represented.
