I’ve been thinking of my approach to the daily create. At the start of the month I was loosely connected to the Reclaim Open 2025 conference<\/a> via Combobulating<\/a> where a few of my posts here were combobulated with others as a way of talking about ds106 as part of a wild web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t manage to take part as much as I liked, but had some fun, and thought a bit about the daily create. I don’t take the daily<\/strong> part very seriously at the moment. My contributions are often old things I’ve had on my hard drive or recycled attempts at creates gone by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strangely this week I’ve done more than usual. But two were recycled, one was a photo and one was a quick image edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I made more of an effort, I’d looked at the prompt in the morning and it didn’t click with me. Then I saw Kevin’s toot<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

dial in a daily call us and we will inspire you to create or to remix; or maube it will be an invitation to write a story or a poem; or perhaps a call to share a photo or a piece of art. the unexpected is part of the appeal.
call today to get inspired.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Which made me think. I wonder if I could do something like the original project without any of the really hard or expensive bits. Maybe a webpage that would speak a random Daily Create? I did a bit of combobulating of some ideas and things I’d found and stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
