Adjustments

Well, uploading continues to be slow, I am backlogged a few days, which means that I am taking this day (the 12th) off from taping, so that I can get everything fresh and clean again. I am also getting my web cam today, so we'll see if that takes any of the pressure off. It should, but it may not.

In any case, I've had to relax the taping even more than I had already, which is fine. I am thinking that in China, where my ability to upload will be even further diminished (very possibly, but hopefully not, crippled) that I may only tape six hours a day, or up to my battery capacity.

This is fine, although being on camera constantly has been good for me, anything is better than nothing, and if I can't upload onto the internet, the camera isn't as strong of a totem, I feel.

The bigger problem is that this then becomes a way of selecting what goes on and what stays off, and that goes very much against the point of the project. I am not selecting things for display within my life, I want to have a constant observation of it, of the goods and the bads, of the funs and the not-so-funs, etc. etc. Picking and choosing, I fear, will lead to several not-so-great things, mainly that it has the potential of adding another extra level of artificiality, when the idea is to strip artificiality away. But, we shall see.

The effort is what's most important, so as long as I'm earnest about doing it when I can to the best of my abilities, I see no problem with that.

Day by day, there's no other way to do it.

So, from now on, search for "adjustments," on the blog, and you'll get all the blogs that deal with changes to the original plan.
