"She read some books, she walked around."I would not normally post on a Sunday, but have decided to as I have something to report anyway and I might as well write something up at the same time. We'll come to that a little later. First, a little about the song.
JHH Lowengard has a peculiar little corner of the Internet where occasionally things pop up. It is well worth a look. Jhhl can also be found at one of my favourite haunts: WFMU.org. This song is from a small group of tracks written for his then 0-1 year old daughter, Ada, with his wife, Nancy Graham. As is quite often the case with these things, I cannot recall exactly how I came about the site. It could have been via the 365 Days Project, it could have been by some other avenue. A full set of MP3s is available from this page.
There is a potential video for this entry, but I'll only be linking to the page itself from here. This is Love is So Sweet: A short animated video by JHHL, Nancy and Ada.

I will, starting tomorrow, be running the S+7 Method from scratch. This follows from a talk with a friend about the merits of the system as a process of selection. He quite correctly pointed out that it is not a perfect system as it is not an all-inclusive sorting method and looping can occur quickly in some lists, especially small ones. I have been looking for fresh ways to apply this constraint on various aspects of my day-to-day life, such as selecting films to watch, books to read, even food from menus and have found plenty of occasions where items have been left out of S+7 arrangements. As a consequence the decision has been made instead to run a reductive S+7 system.
Besides this, I plan to be a little more open about the iteration of each step within the system so there is no doubt as to the methodology.
