You can read about how @timmmmyboy made a thing like Netflix has on his blog called DS106 Goes to the Movies that gives you search categories for movies that you want to watch, except that @timmmmyboy‘s one makes fake movie categories that are a jumbled-up of real categories. They are funny. And you can make your […]

Well, so this is the GIF version of my Outography Stealth Mode picture on Flickr. I was testing out some new functions on my Ninja Stealth Suit and it was working okay, I think. It is still a little rough around the edges, but it is really more for backup because people don’t see me […]

Well, everybody was doing sparkle clothes for this GIFfight, so I decided to do sparkle heads. If you know Star Trek, then you know who the sparkle-heads are. Plus, as one of my 2014 Non-Resolutions, I am not wasting time making GIFs work for Tumblr. MBS probably knows how he can post this to the […]

Well, my good Super True New Old Radio Friend @scottlo (where IS he, anyway?) has said that I need to leave off with all the stairs gags. I guess even a good running (or falling) gag runs its course after a few decades of use. It was a bit of a surprise today to find […]

So, The Daily Create #722 said to write resolutions about what I would NOT accomplish in 2014. 10.  I will not make it through 2014 without making new True Friends. 9.  I will not make zero animated GIFs in 2014. 8.  I will not let Tumblr hobble my Art with their silly unpublished rules. 7. […]

Well! It was very nice to read my True Friend John Johnston‘s (@johnjohnston, on Twitter) post, called Glitchachrome ds106 Glitch GIFs,  about how he made an app to make a GlitchAChrome ds106 Glitch GIF  to make GlitchGIFs like my True Friends Mariana (@mdvfunes) and Christina (@clhendricksbc) had been doing while I was having an Art Lack like UNCLE […]

For the GIFfight, “The Man With No Eyes,” it has a picture of a sunglasses face. And maybe the man wearing the sunglasses can’t see very well in the sun. So it is hard for him to understand communication, which is his failure. So when the Terminator comes along, he puts on his glasses so […]

Now that I have a bit of time for making some Art again, one thing that I wanted to do for audio week was a commercial for #ds106 and True Friends. I think that #ds106 is a great way to find enthusiasm and creativity and energy and fun, and it is a great way to have […]

My True Friend GNA (@DrGarcia) took a picture after her work and she put it on the internet and said that it was spooky. I don’t really know why she said it was spooky. I think that as long as you have True Friends around, things can not really be that way. Well, bye!

Well! I have been having a bit of an Art Lack recently, but I think that it will be done soon and I will be back to my usual self, making Art on a more regular basis. I have been trying to find time to work on our group radio play, Shrinking the Big Questions […]

I thought it would be nice to make a nice #ds106radio bumper for all my True Friends and other Friends and friends to hear when they are listening to #ds106radio and are waiting to hear my voice. When they hear this bumper, they will hear my voice for a little bit and it will be like a little snack for them […]

Well, sometimes I go to a Red Carpet event and I get my picture taken. In this case, these pictures are from a carpeting convention in Buffalo, so I was just wearing a sweatshirt and jeans instead of my usual glamour gown. But these pictures are good for showing today’s The Daily Create Challenge tdc621: […]

Well, the other day when people were in a Google Hangout talking about going on #ds106radio jamathon, I was there but I couldn’t get my mic to work and so I was just looking at everybody on the screen. So it was fun but not as much as if I was talking. So tonight I […]

Well, unlike my two True Friends John and Andy, I carefully read the instructions and noted that it wasn’t a head swap that we were supposed to do for tdc618, but rather only a face swap. I don’t think that I like my face swapped too much, but I think that John and Andy look […]

Well, Friends, for the The Daily Create for September 16th tdc617 my True Friend Bryan Jackson (bryanjack) asks “What is Philosophy to you?” and then says we should make our own audio definition in 30 seconds or less. So I did! Except for the 30 seconds or less part. But it IS a big question, after all! […]

The Daily Create for September 13 tdc614 asks us to “design a greeting card or post card from an alien race using a Hubble Space Telescope image.” Of course, why stop with a static image when with a little more effort, you can make a GIF? The photo that you see here is the Mystic […]

This is just a little exercise-in-perspective sketch that I whipped off many years ago after a little event. It came to mind today as I read of The Daily Create for September 5th, and I thought it might be appropriate. tdc606: “Make a drawing that emphasizes perspective (e.g. angle of view)” I just hopped the […]

Well! The numbers on the Countdowner-thingy are getting lower and lower, and both are now in the single digits. As of right now, tonight, there are only 6 blogs on our #headless13 Friends Index that are the efforts of unnamed #headless peoples, and there are only 9 in total that do not have a Twitter […]

The Daily Create assignment for Monday, September 2nd is the classic video start-of-course prompt, “Show us your keychain and tell us a story about the keys and/or things you have on it.” It is always such a wonderful way to get to know people! Here is my video. I know you will like it!

Well, I made a new #headless13 Friends Index and it has 62 Friends on it, and maybe there are more who are missing. Speak up, bub!   But for the 62 #headless13 Friends some of them have lost their NAMES and their TWITTER or they didn’t say them yet. So I need all my True […]

So I think it is a great thing that so many people are #headless13 people for the fall2013 #ds106 Digital Storytelling Course. I think it is such a great way for me to get more Friends and to Make More Art at the same time. I made a new Index called #headless13 Friends Index, and […]

As you may have surmised, I have recently escaped from the the clutches of that @PuppetMaster106 and his minion @AneuwegCentSix, and I am once again free and roaming the world. Suffice to say that I am free of that cardboard/ice/carbonite holding box and have escaped from the mountain hold storage facility that turned out to […]

HEY! Tumblr! I’m calling you out!  I am very not happy with Tumblr and their confusing what-needs-to-happen-for-a-GIF-to-move rules. I spent a lot of time yesterday reading on the Internet how to figure out how to get your GIF to still animate on Tumblr. Some say it needs to be less than 1 MB. Some say […]

WELL! Have I every been busy! Not making GIFs (as I guess you may have figured), but living my life again, free and out of that silly box and away from that @Puppetmaster106 and his minion @AneuwegCentSix. More on that tomorrow. In the meantime, another #GIFFight! is upon us! So today’s challenge is to respond […]

“Friends are True Friends” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

Well, I went to the Assignment Bank to get today’s assignment, and the Animated GIF Assignment 977 “Fruedian Alphabet” by Tom Woodward (@twoodwar)looked like fun, except for the typing in “I Hate …” part, so I changed mine to a …

“Multitasking Tina” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

So the challenge for day thirteen is one of @cogdog‘s wonderful assignments, Animated GIF Assignment 859: Riff-a-GIF, which asks us to take someone elses ds106 work and RIFF-a-GIF from it.

In this case, I took @Rockylou22′s most excellent honey video that she …

So people were doing a GIF Fight with Darth Vader and so I think this is a good challenge for me to do, too!

I saw a

“Get Your Wiggle On, with Friends” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

Another kind of GIF that you can do for 3D is to make a Stereo Wigglegram GIF. That is where you make a GIF out of two pictures that are almost the same except they are taken from two slightly …

Well, I think it would be fun if everyone took a look for a part of a scene in a 3D type movie where the thing comes right out of the screen at you and then makes a GIF out of it. You know, something that my friend Count Floyd from Monster Chiller Horror Theatre […]

“We Found Rainbows,” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

Oh no!!

The ds106.us server was down today. For a long time. One of the unicorns got in touch with me on my iPhone, and we started surfing the web, trying to track down the missing ds106 rainbows.

We searched and searched. We …
