During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks: Have you watched Stranger Things on Netflix? Even if you haven’t, imagine just how strange the world can get. Then write a story or create an image, or a soundtrack, or a video, of the Stranger Things you imagine. We won’t judge. Too much.

During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. Today’s TDC asks us to: Place the word Madagascar somewhere in the response in a way that makes no sense As I web searched for Madagascar I noticed that images of lemurs featured heavily in the results, and that gave me an idea.

Today’s TDC asks us to Make a silly solage A silly solage is a happy poem of three lines, two of them as long as you dare, the third is one word. The third word is surprising and silly.

BlToday’s TDC is from one of those wonderful random web pages one finds while browsing through the web. Play around with this rolling stone and share a screenshot or a video of what you create.

Finally I uploaded to YouTube and added the video here. If i’d had time I’d have snipped the video to […]
