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.

Inverted synesthesia
For today’s Daily Create, I did a most obvious thing and typed ds106 in the synesthesia generator. Being most oblivious, I failed to notice that @NomadWarMachine did that in the assignment prompt. I didn’t like the color combination though, so … Continue reading
on Black Flags and bar codes
Today’s Daily Create asked us to “Compose a cutup poem from the words that debuted in your birth year.” This was inspired by a tweet from Amy Burvall which I liked so much that I made it a ds106 assignment, … Continue reading
Elmer to the rescue
It’s not necessary to do write-ups for Daily Creates, but I do them sometimes just because. Yesterday’s Daily Create asked us to add a rescue vehicle to a piece of art. I liked the inspiration for the challenge, but I … Continue reading
Mixed Up Mountain Jam

On the Daily Create
A few people have asked about the Daily Create, so I thought I’d write a post. The Daily Create is an ongoing part of ds106. It comes out every day of the year. The idea is that regular exercise of … Continue reading
How to get a head in the world
“There’s two kinds of people in this world, my friend: Those who work for a living, and those who own things for a living.” is the way I usually paraphrase Tuco. But today’s Daily Create challenge was to make something, … Continue reading
Rock Pockets
“It’s Hot Pockets Day on the Daily Create!” “Didn’t we already talk about this?” “I’m making Rock Pockets.” “What – you’re going to put Aerosmith inside a Hot Pocket?” That wouldn’t be a bad idea, and could be a whole … Continue reading
Rockwell had the idea…
Yesterday’s Daily Create involved using an online application to stylize an image. I had seen something like this before and thought it was pretty cool, so I gave it a shot. I used an image from the Church of San … Continue reading
A day in the life of a night prowler
Our Daily Create today was End Sounds. For whatever reason, the first thing I thought of was the voice at the end of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell album, saying “Shazbot! Nanu nanu.” Someone actually made a supercut of the endings … Continue reading
