Daily Create #1527. If anyone has been here from the start, they’ve done upwards of 1527 daily creates and their brain would definitely have a six pack on the right hand side. I am coming off a maintenance week from DS106 Training. It’s a fancy term meaning I didn’t do much for a spell. So now … Continue reading DS106 Will Pump You UP! →

TDC1517. Life, A User’s Manual, by Georges Perec. I haven’t read it. I’m just winging it. I’ve been advised to throw out the manual. This little nugget below is probably in there though. I’ve been worried about this forever. If we are constantly finding and skipping all the good stones, the nice round flat ones, they’ll all be … Continue reading A Nugget of Life Haiku: Is There Hope? →

Here’s your new buddy, who doesn’t get you in trouble when you bring books back late: The Librarian Husky. He’ll even … Continue reading Impossible Dogs →

When you’re a silly person, Daily Creates (TDC1515) like this one, that obviously call for some response on a deeper more meaningful level, are trouble. This Daily Create is not asking for something trite. But I’m all about the trite! So I’m embracing the trite. Make a drawing with a tree, a seed and a star joining to create … Continue reading Tree Seed The Stars →

Daily Create today (TDC1514) is to create a story and a collage. I haven’t created a collage since the 1800s. Let’s see if I still don’t got it. By the way thanks for the help, Story Spark! You’re so random! You gave me so much inspiration. Well, really you did all the work by providing the … Continue reading Sparking a Story →

It’s 1832 and 22% of the western US of A is 78% lawless. Your gang of 5 outlaws is planning a train robbery that, if caught, could put your gang being bars for 15-20 years. If the lawlessness rate is diminishing by 6% a year and you need 6 months to plan your train heist, … Continue reading Math: Western Style →

My attempts at triple trolling always seem to end up a 2 vs. 1 situation. See, for example, how I unfairly pitted Joe Strummer against Justin Bieber and Nickelchad. I’m sorry again, Joe. This time it’s another unfair fight as Caillou and Mark Zuckerberg join annoying forces against BBQ Bill Shankelbean and, by extension, openness. We … Continue reading Caillou, Open Range Bastion →

Play the audio above as you listen to this tale of woe. And read slowly to get the full effect. audio courtesy of: Sound Transit All Canadians know, in order to travel from one place to another in the same province, whether it be as tiny as Prince Edward Island or as huge as Quebec or … Continue reading Intra-Provincial Travelling Blues →

The Triple Troll, in spirit, is meant to irritate fans of three different things at once. This one went in a little bit of a different direction. This one will only irritate one fandom and the others won’t care at all. They are nihilists. They are too exhausted. I trolled myself really, in the end. … Continue reading Triple Troll →

tdc1504 Jerry Jones was a dead ringer for Jesse James… In the looks department, but not so much the brains department. He traveled from town to town look for ways to get unstuck from the sticky situations he often found himself in. Usually involving glue.

TDC1503 How would I do this ? Well, I would hop on the Steel Horse I Ride (Chromoly Alloy Steel Tubing to be precise) which I have rendered into history using like 30-35 pixels in our featured image above (and to the right. It’s small so I used it twice). That’s me beside it. But I wouldn’t go very far … Continue reading Head West, Not So Young Man? →

tdc1502 Apparently there are always two sides to every cloud but I only see one from where I am. How can we be so sure? Either way, it’s important to always listen to each and every cloud. And name them all. You should definitely name them. These two are called Cloudy (on the right), and Clowdy … Continue reading Clouds: Now with Two Sides →

When I found out the meaning of life is not 42, I soul searched my own digital images for the meaning of life (MOL for short). And I found it in the mouth of a frog! Truth be told this is one of a collection of 3 of my personal MOLs. The other two are not currently … Continue reading It’s Not 42? →

I found an article from a real newspaper from January 8th, 2012, announcing the beginning of the Daily Creates. Congrats on 1500 DS106! TDC1500

No spoilers he hasn’t seen it yet!

This is an investigation into the connection between westerns and space/sci-fi films. I did a little research and the connection is not even tennuous. It’s a hundreduous! A thousandous even! I don’t know how we didn’t notice, but I can’t find a single Western that does not have a connections to space/sci fi/UFOs etc. Just look … Continue reading Space Cowpokes →

I’ll have to leave now for April and multiply this song by 6.462 (or 3.231 if you go by lyrics and not just the title) in order to get there on time! I made this with the Snipping Tool, Copying, Pasting, Photoshop, Low Mediocre Skill Levels and Just Enough Time to do a Poor Job of It. Have … Continue reading OER16 is 3231 Miles Away →

Create a treasure map, you say? Well, when I need a map I usually don’t create them myself. I let the Internet do it for me. So I went ahead and Google Mapped for Treasure. And wouldn’t you know it, ‘X’ doesn’t mark the spot anymore, that balloon thingy does. Looks like it’s located in an … Continue reading Well, That Was Easy →

Here in Canada, we don’t trust Ponies. They are too cute to not be up to something. Also, we have access to an unlimited supply of Moose. That is why our early postal system was called the Swamp Donkey Express. Moose have the added bonus of built-in antlers to hang your parcels from. That is why there … Continue reading Pony Express? Not in the Great White North →

This morning I was tasked by the Daily Create to become an inventor. What I found was, as an inventor, I am not able to invent anything. So I invented The Inventionator. It makes inventions for you by yelling into the input pipe. The next phase will be to become an engineer to engineer this thing, … Continue reading Inventing an Invention →

Now someone like Dr. Oblivion being ‘missing’ should only be seen as suspect. To think that someone could put something over on him is laughable. So it must be by choice that he is missing. So we have to dig deeper. And I dug deeper. Did I answer any questions? No, all I did was … Continue reading A Clue into Dr. Oblivion’s ‘Missing’ Status →

Daily Create: Create a six second stop motion video of your producing some type of art. Mine is the making of a failed project. A few days ago we were to daily create a no-look drawing of a cactus. I tried it. The results were not feel-good ones so I trashed it and didn’t participate. This … Continue reading Making and Breaking ‘Art’ →

So I’m getting behind and skipping some stuff, which I feel is in the spirit of being an open participant. If you’d like tips on how to do this, hit me up. Here are some excuses: work, family, moving. Good enough. All I could muster this week (last week) was one blog post about What’s … Continue reading Week 3 Round Up, Now in Week 4 →

Daily create today is to illustrate a choice. Well, I found myself needing to choose a new profile pic for something work-related (it’s a members only place, can’t tell you any more). I decided to use it for a new Twitter profile pic, too! Two birds, one choice. I looked for cool pics of bikes … Continue reading Go Ahead, Make a Choice →

No Googling, no cheating. It’s time to just use what’s currently stored and available for recall in this here brain of mine to answer the question: What is Digital Storytelling? Let’s focus on the first part of the second word: Story. And here’s my brain’s in-depth analysis: Story, is like, what happened. What happened to … Continue reading What’s the Story with Stories? →

Levi spent his 40s, and the ’40s (1840s that is) panning, digging, clawing, mucking and chucking for gold in them hills, them dales, them vales and them northern, western and southern climes. Everywhere. He found enough to get by, if still being alive means he ‘got by’. But he’s down enough fingers and toes to … Continue reading The Retired Prospector →
