    Yesterday I was planning to make a short ds106 radio show and podcast with the idea of helping folk starting the new round of ds106. It was in my mind most of the day, and I intended to do a bit of planning and note taking. Somehow the day got to its end without the ...

    Here it is. My first Daily Create: The brief? Build a monster out of items in your kitchen. Yes I know mine looks more robot than monster but a robot could be monstrous, could it not? So, how was it (the Daily Create)? Without wanting to lapse into hyperbole, it was damn fun. I’m doing […]

    Sometimes Someone Else Has to See The Force

    Things can be right in front of you and you miss something completely. That’s the beauty, at least one of them, in a place we share things. More eyes, more perspective. Yesterday’s ds106 Daily Create was to make a monster out of your kitchen items. Given my old cheap coffee maker died that very morning, I hung some things off it, and came up with a not so clever title for the photo of “ineffectual Coffee Maker”. Done. I forgot about it- until Stenfanie Jeske, who has been consistent for maybe a year as an open online participant in ds106 saw what I overlooked and commented: Looks like Darth Vader ;) Of course! The shape of the lid mimicking the hood of Vader, that Chrome plate in the middle looking like his mouth piece. How did I not see that? Revise, meet “Darth Maker” cc licensed ( BY SA ) […]

    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 […]

    Nike of Samothrace, the Winged Victory, was my favorite sculpture in my early adulthood, when I thought I could make a living as an artist. While in the Navy, I had the opportunity to visit Paris with a couple of shipmates. We fit in a visit to the Louvre for about half an hour. My […]

    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 […]

    The Daily Create tdc 595 for August 25th asks us to “build a monster out of items in your kitchen and post of photo of it.” I posted a static image of my monster to Flickr, but this Wigglegram version is perhaps a bit more animated.

    Creating a Page for Last 100 Posts in your WordPress Site

    Because she’s #ds106 #4life and an awesome grandma… #ds106 I'm looking for a way in WP to add a page that shows all of my blog posts. HELP? @cogdog @timmmmyboy http://t.co/CFxbAwhm6y — Rochelle Lockridge (@Rockylou22) August 25, 2013 I do have one of these on CogDogBlog- mainly because I wanted a reference way to be able to grab the links to my own posts when I write new ones. The way I did it is a bit arcane (especially since I did it like 4 years ago), but here is a method that should work for anyone with a self hosted WordPress site. (1) Make a copy of your template’s page.php file and name it something like page-last100.php. (2) At the very top, above everything else add: <?php /* Template Name: Last 100 Posts */ ?> Doing this allows this to appear as am optional template in your WordPress Page […]

    In about 10 hours the first week of Headless ds106 launches- the first week’s assignment will be published at one minute past midnight (PST) and will appear at http://ds106.us/category/the-site/fall-2013-headless/. We already have 38 blogs in the mix- check out all the posts from participants. If you are new to ds106, your task this week is to set up your ds106 blog space, register it with the ds106 site, and once you post something, your blog will appear on the right side list. This week is not taxing- a few videos to respond to about art, doing a few daily creates, and getting into the habit of writing up a weekly reflection. And being part of our online spaces in twitter and/or Google+ If you have been around the ds106 bend before, what you can do to help is welcome people, offer advice, and model good ds106 blog writing behavior.

    I watched this film a few days ago and it made a real impact on me. From the trailer:

    Paris, 2020.
    A beautiful couple, a city over-saturated by holograms and digital stream.
    A polaroid camera.
    Tomorrow will never be the same. 
    An electromagnetic storm wipes out all our data, worldwide. The only thing he has left is an old polaroid she took before he left him for spending too much time on social media. 
    I put this together with a quote from Alone Together by Sherry Turkle:
    We are not in a position to let the virtual take us away from our stewardship of nature, the nature that doesn’t go away with a power outage.
    The moment captured in this image has been running in my head for days so I thought I would do some giffing. I did not want it to loop forever, but to stop and give the sense of it all breaking up when it ended. However, it looks like this will not work with Tumblr so I slowed it down a little and looped it forever.
    Followed Michael’s tutorial again, and experimented with a few more settings in GIMP. I did want the glass smashing to make more of an impact. I need to play with it more.
    However, I want to end with Alan Levine’s comment on watching the movie:
    Hard to empathize with a digital dude who did not make local backups of media ;-)

    Update: I am submitting this gif as an assignment for the assignment 'saying it like peanut butter'. I did it a few days ago, it was one of the first gifs I made properly (i.e not with an automated tool) and it was inspired by a film that moved me.
