It’s visual sarcasm! I cannot help the impulse to find media and recast it into something else. Please do not sent help.
I remain unable to do presentation slides from templates. When they nust happen, out comes the cloak of sarcasm. For her graduate seminar Cori had to lead a session on Poststructualism. As we talked, it just became ironic to think of doing a linear progress of Bullet Point Slides. We jumped to a club concept […]
Actually I am just making the images. I am not quite getting to the No Silo stage, just trying to make a stance. Just a weak, wavering stance. But as I gaze around this old web, seeing even more adherence to putting ones words, media, messages into web silos, as aptly described in a comment […]
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 […]
As Forrest Gump never said, “Momma told me life is like a box of yams…” Nope that does not work, just the morning brain on free association. For those not reading ariound here before, my love of taking and sharing photos is not centered in making money or getting anything from my photos, and this […]
For a really long time I kept a browser tab open with an image I had chosen first to write a blog post (yet to be written). The tab was opened in the early days of what looks now like such crude AI image generators, Craiyon and the very first DALL-E stuff. One of the […]
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 […]
Uh oh. It happened again. Another slide down cogdog rabbit holes of associative trails that cannot be created by any statistical means. It started with a podcast I did not even listen to (until later), one that I saw Wes Fryer post in Mastodon. Wes may have hear his ma talk about The Far Side– […]
The first word in that there blog post title is not a verb, not a command, but a noun. An improper noun that is the name of a commercial megamonster corporation that exists to extract more or less Matrix like, the life of its puny little customers. I’ll start from the end, a review in […]
Somewhere in recent web travels I read someone’s post who had just discovered the insight and inspiration of Vannevar Bush’s seminal 1945 essay published in the Atlantic in 1945 As We May Think (linking to the open ACM version as sadly the original one from the Atlantic is stuffed behind their foul paywall). I have […]
We are gathered here to mourn the loss of Alan’s trusty 2013 Retina 13″ MacBookPro, a trusty, reliable, though keyboard battered workhouse that was there for every web page, blog post, flickr photo edited and uploaded, and more for over 11 years. The family requests no cards or flowers. Music is not provided by Elton […]
