We all know the DS106 Daily Create is the best thing on the web, these are posts where I go into deep detail on how/why I made my response to one or just talk endlessly about TDC. This narration is/was the essence of the web.
Even with the frenzy panic of PHP running the web site and the mostly departure of folks who bother to make their own digital art, the DS106 Daily Create still marches on every single day, non-stop since 2012. Open on the web. No paywalls. No tracking do-hickeys. No ads. I still do them fairly regularly […]
For the most recent DS106 Daily Create, a special one (well all 5167 of the other ones are still special) for International Women’s Day. tdc5168 #ds106 Acrostically Her, Poem for International Women’s Day #IWD2026 Today is the 115th International Women’s Day all day, worldwide. Honor one (or more) significant women in your life by making an acrostic […]
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 […]
