Hardly anything is more DS106 #Life than pingponging daily creates with folks like Kevin aka @dogtrax. Ask this 6th grade musician teacher why he is still devoutly doing this stuff, and I bet the answer is along the lines “if I have to explain it to you…” A recent example among many puts a bit […]
For some blogging may be a chore, no longer worth the time spent scrolling, something to pump up your audience, to self promote, yeah, but for me to get back to some roots, that Udellian concept of “narrating your work”. It’s not only “here’s something I did/wrote/made/” but “this is how I did it” and […]
Oi, I have many a blog draft bouncing in the brain to recap last week’s outstanding Reclaim Open Conference– if you missed out pretty much of the activity and sessions is sitting there openly for you to rewild your ideas. Ideally I would have had this post done prior to my Small Piecers Still Loosely […]
Sigh, it used to be an every day thing to not only do a DS106 Daily Create but blog how it was done (e.g. backtrack to 2017 on Shatnering a song). But given tomorrow’s Reclaim Open conference session celebrating the DS06 Daily Create at noon EST on “Remix is #4Life: We We all Love the […]
Coming up in a few days, me with a band of other DS106 Never Quitters, are on tap November 4 for a live conversation session for the Reclaim Open Conference – in that session sharing our love for and refusal to stop being part of the DS106 Daily Create aka The Daily Create (TDC). In […]
Name a web site that you used in 2012 that has not stopped working one day right up to 2025. I’m waiting, I am patient. Hmmmm. Not coming to you? Well take the DS106 Daily Create which published its very first creative challenge, TDC1 on January 8, 2012 and yesterday, September 22, 2025 published TDC5000 […]
Likely a mis-applied generalization, but in a few different education spheres I am sensing that both the overload of new tech and the adoption of pre-built systems are contributing to a decline in the will/awareness to look being what an interface presents us. Thus the shiny front allure of GenAI to vibe the work for […]
Today’s Daily Create made me do it! That listicle glorifying title would never have gotten past my clumsy on the keyboard fingertips. I was sent to Portent Title Generator to randomly generate a title about DS106. to put in a title. Yes, I deploy the Creative Tool No Artist or Writer Should be Without in May […]
(oops, look at who has been using WordPress for 20 years and still forgets to click “Publish”) For those with an eye for numbers and dates, January 1, 2024 has some math going- whether you are month/date/year or date/month/year, as Tristan Louis pointed out you have some fun progressive number addition January 1 also means […]
Whatever the web is becoming or devolving or transmorgiphing to, DS106 still goes on, in some fashion, especially with the Daily Create. And look out, the machinations are at work to oblivate it into perhaps something new? A hallmark of DS106 always was not just spitting out things created (“just type a prompt in a […]
