I can't find any free domains for blog names on the web that I like, and it's making me stall. So here we go, we're just going to dive in. This project, a small world project, a postcard project, a connectivity project, is evolving from a few different points. First, I love getting and sending real mail. Postcards in particular. Tangible things that end up on refrigerators, or in secret boxes, things that get reread over the years and create nostalgia, ambiance, and romanticize a certain time. Then I saw a program on the Science Channel about the "Six Degrees of Separation" which at one point or another, I assume most people have mulled over... but what was so great about this was it's clear message that the Six Degrees that bind us as social humans, is more than just that, but rather a Universal Law that is true as much on the molecular level as on the cosmic. We are wired to live like this, communicate like this. Our DNA is arranged this way. This made me think: if we create social networks based on this model, what would happen if we actively and consciously worked against it? I want to send postcards to seven randomly chosen places on earth, and see whether I can establish a relationship with whomever will respond in these cities. Based on nothing at all but pure chance.
