points<\/a> to his blog post\u00a0The way of the remix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where he asks:<\/p>\n

Do you remix?
\nIf so, how do you remix? What is your remix trigger? Is it curiosity or simply joining the dots as you see them? Do you like to layer-up? Or strive to simplify? Is it a tickly thought? Or a random one from left field?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well yes, I think I do, although my definition of remix might be widened to include mashup. but of course, Everything is a Remix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How, is a long story. I guess I prefer DIY approaches. I use baby steps, image editors (Fireworks is my fav), JavaScript, php, commandline tools (ffmpeg, imagemagick, gifsicle) and anything else that seems interesting.<\/p>\n

The why is harder, I am not a developer or an artist, I don’t make anything as polished as the remixes that scale on social media. I like to think it is because I nearly<\/strong> can. That is I am going to learn something in the process.<\/p>\n

DS106<\/a> was a major trigger, the people involved, especially @cogdog<\/a>, @jimgroom<\/a> and @mvdfunes<\/a> The daily creates from DS106 often led to remixing.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be cool<\/em> is another trigger, or I wonder<\/em>, or will it be funny<\/em>, or impress someone(Usually only me). Or I learn about a new, to me technology and try it out.<\/p>\n

Here are a selection remixes & mashups I am quite please with:<\/p>\n
