About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

“Straight down the line”
For today’s Daily Create, the challenge was to make a movie quote infographic. My initial thought was “We’re gonna need a bigger boat,” but the output would end up being as inelegant as some of the examples from Flowing Data. … Continue reading
I cannot be smooth.
Can I plead temporary insanity on this? I’m not sure where the idea came from. I was aware of Nate Dogg and Warren G’s hit “Regulate” from what was one of the epic-est Wikipedia entries of all time. Then people … Continue reading
Bark at the moon
I had never heard of a MoonTubeShot. Props to @NomadWarMachine for making it a Daily Create. It’s a cool effect, and I especially like the low-tech angle. I think a moon needs context though. And what better than the three … Continue reading
There’s more to it…
As I wrote earlier, information literacy has been in the air lately. It’s a good thing from my perspective, as one who advocates for info lit. But it’s frustrating too, because people don’t seem to get what I’m talking about. … Continue reading
Anatomy of a Daily Create
“What would the name of your band be?” Paul’s rule number 1 for the Daily Create: If you don’t have an idea, ask someone else. Today’s challenge was, “If you were a musician, what would your debut album look like?” … Continue reading
The good years
Yesterday’s Daily Create challenge was to make an infographic of a song. I had seen people do this before. My personal favorite was the flowchart for Devo’s Whip It. Unfortunately I don’t know who gets credit for this. I knew … Continue reading
