During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks: What’s this book about? And what’s in Chapter 106? Tell us what you think, and maybe Todd will tell us. Well, I found the book! DS106 for Dummies flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: Don’t baobab trees look like they’re just the tip of something much bigger? Maybe it is some creature or alien sleeping deep down in the soil, with only part of its head sticking out. For today’s Daily Create, show us what is secretly hiding down there. I downloaded the image from Flickr and added my little Dalek Cat A Dalek Cat in a […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC had me wondering what to do. It asked: Create a piece of media that puts a positive spin on clowns. They are actually really sad now. I wasn’t sure what to do. First I turned myself into a clown. Great, but is it positive enough? Sarah the Clown flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license Maybe I […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC is from long time friend Sheri and asks us to: Create a butterfly of your own in whichever medium works for you. I really want to do this one later on with pencils and crayons, but it’s a busy day at work so for the time being here’s a version createdby NightCafe. The prompt I gave it was: A butterfly with patterns made […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. From what I’ve read about this week’s challenge, it seems that this was originally aimed at giving appreciation for games developers. Well, I don’t really play games or like them, but I have a huge amount of appreciation for anyone who creates things that I do enjoy. Often I’d use this type of post to wax lyrical about DS106 and the Daily Create, but with […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks us Our Daily Creator Kevin aka @dogtrax has been an award worthy participant and contributor (hundreds of ’em) to the Daily Create. We received word that he would be travelling and away from the TDC for a few weeks, let’s treat him to some wildly creating art about where he is now. Create a story describing what adventures @dogtrax is up to or speculate […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Sestetle flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license Today’s TDC is a familiar one, though not a remix. The last time the prompt was to write a sestetle, which is more appealing than today’s suggestion: Give Mark Sample’s Sestetle generator a spin for a 6 line poetic stanza made of 5 letter words, generated Wordle style, then wrote a lofty sophisticated […]

Question postcards flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 2.0) license During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. This post is an answer to Roger’s Blaugust post. I also like quizzes and questionnaires, so here’s my answers to the Bernard Pivot Questionnaire (the post byRoger omits question 4, but I’ve answered all 10 here). Q1: What is your favourite word? There’s lots of Scots words that I like – […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC says: The Biodiversity Heritage Library is a huge treasure trove for fans of the natural world (not my words, the Guardian told me so). Visit its web pages and look around. Make some art about what you find, or look through the Flickr library for something to inspire you. I headed over to its Flickr library and chose a pic of a tsetse fly. I cropped it into a […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. A lovely TDC today: Mandala designs — a sort of mirrored gathering of lines in circular patterns — are interesting and rather relaxing to create and to view. Use the Mandala Maker (or some other site or draw one on paper) and share out your artwork. Here’s mine mandala flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks us to: Tell us about your inner monologue. Bonus points for recording it. 224/365 Non Eclipse flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license Work’s tricky at the moment, so a lot of my inner monologue is best kept to myself, but there’s one thing on my mind today. Yesterday was the day of a solar eclipse, […]

Magic Wand flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license Today’s TDC links to a toot to ask us Which words make you prick your ears up and get your attention? What do others know to call out to make you respond? Tell us what your real name is, and why. For a long time we only called Cagney by […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks us to Since we know 1 taped banana can be sold for lots of US $, let’s make some money by making our own masterpieces. Ron tapes some bananas to his wall and takes a pic of it for us. I was just about to pack my saandwich lunch into my bag, so here’s part of it. Feel free to make me an […]
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. There’s two apps on my phone that I really like, and use a lot. The first is Merlin, the app from Cornell that helps people to identify birds. The second is Pl@ntNet, a free app that helps people to identify plants. They are both great, and thanks to Merlin I am getting better at guessing which bird I am hearing as I am out walking […]
