With grand intentions to stick to a schedule of daily challenges, by skin of my calendar teeth I am 31 for 31 days in both daily flickr photos and ds106 Daily Creates. I’ve held this pace before maybe 2 months? Does it really matter to get a perfect score (no)? But parsing some time to […]
The DS106 Daily Create has done it’s thing non-stop, every day since January 8, 2012 thanks to a dedicated crew of open and class participants in DS106 plus people who work behind the scenes to keep it populated. How many other web things have had a continuous 6+ year run? With no budget? While tech […]
It’s been a while since I blogged a breakdown on the making of a DS106 Daily Create. I was lagging a bit on energy this afternoon, and that’s when I see if I can publish a Daily Create response in less than an hour. TDC2027 was a fun one: #tdc2027 Shatner A Song: William Shatner, […]
Just for the heck of it, a revival from the summer of 2013… It’s time to get in shape. Sergeant Hulka is here to say more… (ignore the date and old URL at the end, see below) We give you a ds106 daily create summer creative challenge– because your creativity has gotten FLABBY! Do you […]
Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole. Thanks. And I’m responsible for today’s challenge #ds106 #dailycreate #tdc1552 It’s 4/8/16 Make Art to Celebrate the Power of the Number 4 https://t.co/hMegpYbuET pic.twitter.com/SW4CiurJfC — ds106 Daily Create (@ds106dc) April 8, 2016 I look for patterns in numbers, and while loading future Daily Creates […]
Long ago, long before the web, as a Geology student, I was on a trip to Los Angeles. On the return drive along I-10 I saw this billboard that read: Barry’s Bail Bonds: We’ll get You Out… Even if it Takes Us 20 Years! Why does this memory stay in my little brain some 30 […]
It was just a simple daily create. Well today’s could be simple (take a photo of a cloud) but the prompt was to play with the idea of the Judy Collins song Both Sides Now. Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air and feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at […]
Some of the best experiences doing the DS106 Daily Create are taking on one that you think is maybe not all that special, interesting, and falling into a magic shiny rabbit hole… in the act of just letting the mind fly open and also stumbling across the unexpected trigger. I’m responsible for today’s one– I […]
There’s a lot to like about the DS106 Daily Create. There is also a lot of them, today’s was number 1493; this has gone on for 1493 days since January 8, 2012 without missing a beat. Four years. The best part is the unexpected range of responses, epecially when they seem so… simple. Maybe even […]
A big hat tip to Mariana Funes for cleverly taking an idea for a DS106 Daily Create into the next level of interestingness. The one for TDC 1384 is called just “Removed”: US photographer Eric Pickersgill created “Removed” a series of powerful black and white photos. Inspired by this, your prompt for today comes from […]
