The red in the chevron, and the coat it’s on, came from my father when he was in the Marines. The pin on the lapel is from his sister/my aunt, a souvenir of her trip to the Soviet Union back … Continue reading →

So I was enjoying The Daily Create for today, tdc1453, which said to make a Lone Ranger meme, and I couldn’t help but noticing how the comic book industry has been remixing characters for years and years. These thinkings came about because of some of the confusions that might have come up in making a meme […]

The Daily Create, tdc1452 asks us to spin a yarn about this here picture. Well, this here picture here by Diana is almost the same as the one that I have in my possession that goes way back to the history of DS106Radio and the time when it was almost broadcast from California instead of where […]

I am not sure if western106 is going ahead, but I was interested in using it to play around (starting with some gifs). I’ve discovered an interest in pixel sorting although I am not sure I really understand it. I installed EVA-01/pxlsrt the other day and played around a bit. Today I grabbed a public domain […]

Since I couldn’t sleep, I decided to make something. I thought about playing with the Madden Giferator again, and making it do a Poe poem. I didn’t actually set out to do the obvious, but there was a Baltimore Ravens … Continue reading →

My plan for the first night of ds106tales ds106radio broadcasts was to get set up early, try out all the different inputs, and be ready to go well before 9. But sometimes things don’t work out. Apparently Soundflower doesn’t play … Continue reading →

These are some notes on creating gifs and manipulating images on the command line on a mac. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge here so some of the details may be sketchy. It seems to me that this allows one to iterate through various ideas quite quickly. I do often take […]

I thought I’d try a showcase of my own, mostly because no one else seems to want to go visual with them. So I slapped this thing together in Photoshop with a couple shots of Your Humble Host and some … Continue reading →

When you upload files to Soundcloud, they are not downloadable by default. You have to go in and change a setting to make that work. You may want the other members of your radio group to be able to download … Continue reading →

I’m glad that people appreciate The Vignelli Canon. It was written for people with a design background, but it works for those who claim to have little: the little booklet offered great insight to graphic design, with me someone who … Continue reading →

The Creative Action Network is running a campaign for Recovering the Classics. I thought it would make a good assignment, so now it is. Supposedly you get a kickback if your cover sells. So I made this thing: I probably … Continue reading →
