This is a plug for my friend, Neville who is always up to interesting antics. His current project is the Homeless Experiment. He hasn’t done it yet but I’m waiting with bated breath. Basically, he is going to live on the streets of Austin, Texas for 5 days, 4 nights. He outlines what he wants to learn and research in the aforementioned link.
What I’m curious about is how he’s going to record his field work.
- Will he bring a camera?
- Or will it be a pen and paper kind of recording.
- What is he going to do about safety? Especially if he’s going to bring a camera for recording purposes?
- I can’t wait to see the bio sketches of the people he meets.
- I can’t wait to see what he does about food and going to the bathroom
I just chatted him up and he is going to bring his netbook, iPhone, and camera. This makes me very nervous for him. He will explain in a further post.
I guess I’m hyperaware of possible muggings from watching The Soloist last weekend with Kim when she was in town. Trailer follows. Jamie Fox was mugged 14 times as a homeless man in the movie. (We both enjoyed the movie.)
P.S. Neville updated his blog. Check it out to follow him in this experiment.
