Progress: March 7, 2009

Though I've worked on this project off and on for years due to sorry finances and a little detour through academia, the timing couldn't be better for completing the Tongue Rug project now in terms of new social media tools. The blog is the perfect medium to make the virtual sladdakavring.

• Each tag (A-1, LE-1, LA-1, etc.) becomes the individual tongues which make up the Tongue Rug.
• At the same time, each tag corresponds to a topographical element (body of water, bridge, etc.).
• The time-based entries allows me to keep track of my cycling logs as well as the associative thoughts and mini essays which surround this project.
• Commenting feature invites the public's participation and has the potential to alter the shape of the virtual Tongue Rug.

I'm looking forward to investigating the possibilities of the blog; playing, exploring, stretching and tweaking it, imagining new uses for it in both a formal and theoretical manner.
