This POD uses the search term *Stewart Home* to mine the metamute content archive.

In order to explore the POD environment I needed to define an *editorial strategy* of sorts, something that would offer pathways through and across both subject index and chronology, a kind of *core sample* (but one which could be executed without my needing to make a series of difficult and time-consuming editorial micro-judgements, or really doing anything at all).

Since I was aware that Stewart’s contributions to Mute go back several years and address a wide variety of themes, this seemed to be a winner on several fronts. Readers should note that search results which merely discovered the word *home* within a text (as in, e.g. Home secretary or home front) have been excluded from the collection at this stage.

This search (and therefore this POD) is not necessarily either exhaustive or entirely successful. Or maybe it's just my memory. For example I was convinced that a text by Stewart called The Psychogeography of Zeros and Ones had been published on Metamute in 2001 or thereabouts. This was one of a series of texts I commissioned it for the Arts Council [1], to accompany the CODE Conference (Collaboration and Ownership in the Digital Economy) [2] at Queens College, Cambridge during April of that year. Another text in the same series by Steve Beard was published on metamute as well as on the conference website, this, obviously, in the spirit of collaboration and sharing that the conference had been intended to foster. However neither myself nor Pauline have been able to find it, so The Psychogeography of Zeros and Ones must not have been published on Metamute after all. All is not lost, however, since those texts were also published in print using the Diffusion e-book format [3] by Proboscis, though at time of writing I have discovered that The Psychogeography of Zeros and Ones is (temporarily?) not accessible via the Diffusion website (Quote: The file is damaged and could not be repaired). Even if it doesn't include absolutely everything that Stewart has ever done for Mute, there is, though, a wealth of material to read in this compilation.

This exercise was conducted informally as a means to explore the POD environment and get a feel for how the new metamute site is working. However, in a spirit of generosity, since I know that many readers, like me, consider much if not all of Stewart Home’s writing as worthy of at least a second read, I have decided not to delete it. So, here, (with a minimum of editorial effort on my part) is an incomplete selection of articles and reviews by Stewart Home which have appeared in Mute or on metamute. Since there is no automated *sort by* function in *make POD*, it’s most likely that these are not in chronological order. Also readers should note that as far as I can tell, bibliographical data does not automatically follow the texts through in to the POD document itself, so is not included here. Tony White
