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.

Look ma, no guilt! cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Alan Levine This is for of course today’s ds106 Daily Create: Create a pass or certificate that allows you to not complete this Daily Create. My free association mind went to Monopoly Chance and Community Chest cards, which are things well […]
Your ds106 sergeants are not pleased. Y’all talk about being creative, about how great ds106 is… what are you doing? We had the geeky privates run some data analytics. Look how active the troops are? An average showing of 2.57142857142857 daily creators per day last week? It’s time to get in shape. Sergent Hulka is […]
