The day before yesterday, I journeyed with my partner in art crime to a brick wall on a side street of Fort Erie, Ontario, and cemented a USB thumb drive into the wall: cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Why? Because, very much like the PirateBox, it is public digital art […]
I totally forgot I even had this blog. What is it here for?
Someone tell me.
With more people getting into doing Daily Photo projects, and the soon to be official launch of a related DailyCreate site for ds106, I am reflecting back on why this matters to me, now pretty much into my 5th year of trying to take/post at least one photo per day I cannot fully explain it, […]

Doing daily photography makes me take note of many more details around me than I did before. I read a lot of signs, and thought over the last few months that it is interesting to find at intersections road signs for names or things that you would not expect to be crossing. Witness the Queen […]

Super Heroes, we’ve got them in ds106. In digging the archives of bavatuedays, I recently came across Jim’s post on Cotton Mather, Marvel Supervillian? in which we see the source of his lovely blog icon. Ultimately, this leads to full profile bio of this dude, Cotton Mather. And so I dig back, and find that […]
And the ds106 pre-course assignmnet craze moves into 11th gear. Michael Branson-Smith takes the movie poster into a new dimension with his iteration of American Werewolf in London featuring two different elements of movement life sizing the original page. Next, Jim Groom crams about 5 animated GIFs into one with his version of Jason and The Argonauts, turning the whole poster into an action scene.
This is the infectious handoff nature of ds106 that I love the most. While never really becoming the kind of musician who can truly “jam”, in a way we are doing this with ideas.
