A new email has been sent out for my Process Mundane project. Just in time for the holidays.

The Art of Sweeping
Yesterday I launched a new(ish) project!
Process Mundane is an ongoing series of emails - designed to help those who face daily drudgery take a more microscopic look at their drudge. Gleaning inspiration from self help evangelism, Allan Kaprow and Alan Watts, Process Mundane takes a deeper look into the roots of monotonous tasks, evaluates each task, and offers people alternative ways of performing each task. The end goal for Process Mundane is to give a sense of play and creativity to the particularly lackluster moments most people tend to forget about.
You can view the first email HERE. And if you are interested in signing up to receive these, email me pronto-like.
The very first email I ever sent
September 17, 1998
Dear Family,
We are in the dirtiest city I have ever seen in my life - Bombay. However, it is incredible. Um, the plane ride was long, but we got a lot of free food and a pair of slippers to keep our toes warm. Everything is extremely cheap here. The air smells of fish, poop, cows, incense and curry. It's zesty. We are having a great time so far. Tomorrow we are going to take the train to Rajasthan. It should be less chaotic there. Other than that we're fine and healthy and sleeping well. Please inform everybody of our safe arrival, and please e-mail me at this email address.
We will be in Jaipur in a few days.
I love you,
FF
