I have no idea how to even blog what culminated today for headless ds106. Maybe it was because what was in the boxes. Trying to write this up sells it short. But one ought …
It’s almost here; a double headed blow out event that brings together 2 strands of Headless ds106 together. It’s a GIFtastic camera and a campfire! And we burn some old media!

The ds106 radio has been silent for 2 days. The station doors were locked shut, lights off, and only faint sounds of scurrying and muffled electrical tools were heard. But as reported by Grant Potter, the ice …
As part of the ramp up antics for the ds106 headless double header extravaganza Friday, I managed to get a video that represents a real problem for the GIFaChRome folks

As an experiment, the last 4 ds106 Daily Creates have been designed hatched to be ones where each builds off of the last. I did this partly to see if such a thing would work, but maybe also as a repeatable activity in doing remixes where the participants build off …
Not only has stealth agent “BB” been able to produce a schematic evidence of a new GIFaChrome camera, he now produces something so startling in its power, you are likely to doubt its veracity. Or something like that.
From what we can understand, a new time tunnling high speed …

You can find the most current information at http://gifachrome.com/. I have been in …
Wow, have I been delinquent on catching up on the crazy creative riffing going on among the ds106ers in Google+. Besides spinning out Collaborative GIF stories they have mashed up glitch art and animated GIFs, and discovered/invented an entire new kind of photographic device, the GIFaChrome.

Are you going you ignore a woman in leather boots, a starred bikini bottom, and armed with a whip? Are you? Once she is done inspecting the Japanese Navy, she’s looking for you. Get cracking.

The schedule of Headless ds106 is wrapping up, the final assignment is posted for week 15… a post somewhere else may be reflecting on the experience and trundling some medium sized data.
But given I went a bit AWOL for the mmiddle chunk of the course, I want to …

While finishing up the code and remix for Cory’s Mood Room it dawned on me that this could be something put into Mozilla Thimble so other people could change the content or even use their own images to do the same colorizing effect (see the original version at http://lab.cogdogblog.com/cory/).…
I spotted Kevin’s Thimble remix “How to Build a Boy Band” which has a play on an album concept and has a nice design. I immediately thought to myself — I bet a Dog Band would be interesting, so doing it the Mozilla Way, I remixed his Thimble:

For this go around, I wanted to do something in code, and in the web. I …
What feels like a month later, I’m still back blogging some of my experience at Mozfest in London. My ears perked up when someone mentioned something about SourceFabric being at Mozfest.

If you paid very close, detailed (ahem) attention to the Triple Dog Dare — this is RULE 2 for the current ds106 Headless open course activity of remix– it’s time to break out for creativity in a big way, and remix some photos of author Cory Doctorow.
