Radio Poem
This morning’s Daily Create was to listen to the radio, and grab some lyrics, and then make a poem. I used an online radio streaming site, bounced around, and grabbed some words.
Peace (and sound),

Just because we can doesnāt mean we should
In our ds106 noontime coffee chat yesterday we talked a little about the potential impact of AI on art. This made me think of the Folk RNN project from a few years ago. They trained a neural network on a ā¦ Continue reading -

Ghosts of future past
For an AI-related movie, I watched the anime version of Ghost in the Shell, a late 20th century vision of five years from now. I hadnāt watched or read it before, so it was about time. I noticed echoes of ā¦ Continue reading -

DS106: Remix Monday (on a Wednesday) Week 5
Oy. I completely missed the fifth and final remix for my Remix-it Monday that I started a month or so ago on a whim, to see if I could remix one single piece of art from the DS106 files every week, for five weeks. I was right on track for weeks one through four. Then, [ā¦] -

Acoustic Guitar and Christmas Tree
My neighbor, Greg, and I have been practicing my Gift of Peace for guitar and bass, and this shot of the tree, with the guitar and music stand, seemed quite lovely. I used it this morning for a Daily Create. Peace (and Song), Kevin -

Iām doing a five-week, every-Monday remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week four. So one more week to go. Itās unusual for me to stay with something like over many weeks time. I am usually a move-quick and [ā¦] -

DS106: Remix Monday (Week 1)
After a DS106 Daily Create prompt yesterday (Sunday) about coming up with a new day of celebration based on Stir-Up Sunday, I decided that a Remix Monday sounded cool. Then, I thought, maybe I should try to do it ā to remix a single piece of art, five different ways, over five weeks, every Monday. [ā¦] -

Today is the Day I Got My Mastodons Dockerizized

Zine vs machine

Whatever the web is becoming or devolving or transmorgiphing to, DS106 still goes on, in some fashion, especially with the Daily Create.
