    DS106 Radio Bumper Dub Number two

    by
    I love audio, but am fairly scared of music making. I am a bit of a klutz musically, can’t clap in time or keep a tune. I’ve already created a couple of bumpers for ds106: Jim Says, Listen to the LoDown and DS106 Confusion. both relied on music from someone else, one a GarageBand loop […]

    Week Three: comments and code

    by

    YAY! Thanks to your post, I brushed aside my anxiety, took the leap and dived into the HTML. Well, let's be real... I just dipped my toes in the shallow end... but I did it. I created borders around all of my images in my 5 card Flickr post. http://wp.me/p3zfrO-JF Looking at your code directly, this post I found on-line, a HEX color picker and some trial and error I got it to work.

    Hello, True Friend John. Yes, I like this GIF because it is a happy time for all the people and they are dancing, back and forth, back and forth. It is good that you made it small (sometimes small things are just the best, just saying) and still it looks very good and not like a pixie. Even though I like most pixies (they are also small). But if a GIF is too pixie it doesn't work as well. So good for your job on that. Make more GIFs. Like I say, "A GIF a day keeps the doctor away!" or "A GIF a day is a great way to use up a day!" or "If you make a GIF-a-day and keep the doctor away but even if you use up a day making it, then all the other people who see it will be able to look at it and say, good for them for making that GIF today!" Those are just some of my GIF sayings that I say. I have more, but I will save them in reserve for another day, you know, in case you don't make a GIF and need an inspiration or something. Well, bye!

    I took the first step on my headless journey on the 26, with a quick daily create for Make an impression: take a picture of an indentation. Not a particularly interesting photo, but I like the idea of a first step and you cannot get further from your head than a foot. I managed another ...

    Nice John. Thanks for mentioning some new apps too. For some reason I like the second one you made better than the first. Not sure why though. Did you do anything different? Maybe it's just the way you cropped the photo.
