Today’s daily create is a story about a key…   I seem to have a key collection. There are way too many keys in my collection to tell a proper story. Maybe it could be a novel; one of those long rambling ones that never seem to end. Why do I save keys, or at […]

I started the week by watching the three videos… …embedded in the assignment. Some of what I took from these includes: 1. Great ideas often come from hunches that have time to incubate and collect a cluster of related ideas/concepts – this process requires CONNECTIONS to happen. 2. To be creative, take an everyday phenomenon […]

21st century elegance… a personal choice. This is public seating in a tiny parkette between two tall buildings. Furniture has to be functional, durable and too heavy to carry away. I think the designer achieved these goals and a measure of elegance as well. And here’s my little story (fictional of course) of how this […]

ds106-tdc601 frontwards & backwards A salute to the 601st daily create for ds106 and the reversibility of 106/601, backwards, frontwards, whatever. This was done with 3D-CREATE and GifBoom on the iPad.

Expressing 600 without using numbers… This animated gif has been created in honor of the 600th daily create for ds106. The graphics were created with InkPad and converted to an animated gif with GifBoom, all on the iPad.

Bumblebee as Teddy Bear… I cheated on this, of course. I started with a photo of an actual bumblebee and then converted it to a line drawing using ShockMyPic on the iPad. Then, also on the iPad I proceeded to further modify the image using SketchBook Mobile, another iPhone/iPad app. Now bumblebees are already pretty […]

An old, old bit of video… A quick mashup, overlaying a few modern comments on an old message. How would this video be made today. Done with MAGIX Movie Edit Pro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=523mUpeH09k

Deep indentation in a Coca-Cola can: Here’s my daily create, something with an indentation. This is the second image I’ve uploaded to Flickr today. I try to upload an iPhone photo every day, just to keep my own creative juices going. Some I like a lot, others not so much. But I’d never find the […]

We’re headless, right? So I figured why not.. Yeah! I’m a newbie, but so what? Why not offer my own welcome to DS106. It’s all about attitude, right? That’s the way I felt especially after I had seen the short video, ‘Georgia Tech Welcome.’ shared by Darren Barron originally to Education Revolution (Student Voice) and […]

First recognition of my participation in Headless DS106. WOOT!

Here’s my first 5 Card Flickr Story,”The Sign’: http://5card.cogdogblog.com//show.php?id=32470 Actually, I did it wrong the first time round. Instead of picking one image from each of a series of five groups of five randomly chosen images, I took the entire first set and made a story up about them. Here’s the result. Only the first […]

Not a headless me, but a headless DS106. The create challenge was to make an animated GIF of yourself. Didn’t have a full-body shot of myself handy,… so I thought I’d work on the DS106 wordmark. This could also be interpreted as a headless version of me as a DS106 …

Now is the time to view the lace collar. We should be finding out everything there is to know about creating this image. How in heaven’s name could we get more creative without learning all the secrets?

This was captured from the TV screen when the signal went bad. And there’s lots more to know about it as well. And there’s lots more to know about it as well. And there’s lots more to know about it as well. And there’s lots more to know about it as well. And there’s lots more to know about […]

Getting started with digital storytelling… This blog has been started as part of my participation in DS106, a course in digital storytelling that originates out of Mary Washington University. This Fall it’s going to be a little different. The traditional instructors will become students, and the students will take turns facilitating the course. Sounds like […]
