VirtualDayz 2.0

I'm planning to revive this blog, VirtualDayz, and continue the explorations of personal and cultural memory that my earlier posts addressed. (Entries from June 2005 to July 2006 are documented in the book VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories and in a Kindle edition.)

I'm looking for projects to critique, so please feel free to recommend innovative approaches to personal or cultural memory that use some form of new media, a term I use broadly. When I began a "Webliography" of such works about ten years ago, I used the following categories: online diaries/journals; self-representations/memoirs; letters; travelogues; representations of others; memorials/remembrances (with special section devoted to 9/11); and fan sites. I'll have to update these categories.

Note: Abridged versions of self-representations and letters have been posted on this blog.

ARELLA'S REPERTOIRE: The Prelude

You're invited to read the prelude of my novel, Arella's Repertoire, online. Please contact me directly if you have any questions about the book.

VirtualDayz Transformed Once Again

VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories, the “blook” based on my blog, is now available on Amazon.com. The “search inside” feature should be activated soon. I may format the text for the Kindle, Amazon’s new wireless reading device. Transformations of my work continue.
