Episode 1: Posture & Postulation
Yes, the internet at our house sux, but what is our deeper motivation for embarking upon a journey to entangle ourselves in the world wide web? How intimately can we get to know the servers who store our data and the resources who power them? How deeply can we get to know each other? What will it be like to co-inhabit a small car & small tent for 18 days? Will our bodies mold to the seats? Will our camping stove grow mold? What will the cloud storage centers sound like when they hum?

Episode 2: Care Tactics & Pre-tending
Stopping at stations, preparing and tending to our bodies, pretending we are deep inside the data center. Gargling toothpaste water in Council Bluff, Iowa. Next up, a dreamy detour!!

Episode 7: Ecological Interlude II
WurldWideReb and HomePaige drive halfway across the US just to meet up with their Minneapolis roommate, AftunesGiftCard, in a field in Oregon. Thousands of others have made a similar journey to the "Path of Totality.” Their star charts tell them to align their head and heart, flashing signs tell them to mind the traffic. So many humans have gathered to witness the eclipse, how many will go blind?
Here we are reluctantly staring directly at the sun and moon as they cross paths. The year is 2017. We live on earth
