week 21 / 2025 Hanging pictures on the wall / who can say when WEEKNOTES fall? This week, pictures are exhibited, and the devil rides out...
week 20 / 2025 Firing up the neutron beam, slicing through the materiality of the text—WEEKNOTES straddles the disciplinary spectrum like Slim Pickens straddled the bomb! This week, facilities are toured, art is produced, projects are revealed... and houses are haunted?
unknown pleasures: an interview with Cameron Tonkinwise (part 2) In the second part of my interview with Cameron Tonkinwise, we discuss Transition Design, prefigurative politics, dramaturgy, narratology, imagination, and... urban cycling as filtered through the philosophy of Georges Bataille?

week 16 / 2025 Hunching over the desk, hanging out with the wise animals—WEEKNOTES rocks out with the cherubs for a change. This week, the social and the technical are inseparable, and ol' man Burroughs plays with scissors and celluloid.
week 15 / 2025 Paddling away from Calypso's island, claiming false identities in every encounter—the genre of WEEKNOTES is never merely a tale, but also its telling! This week, it all adds up in the end, and Emily Wilson sets sail on the wine-dark sea.
