Excuse the ongoing string of DS106 Daily Creates for a special milestone.
Thirteen years ago or 4743 days ago today was the TDC1, the very first Daily Create (Internet Archive link) calling for photos of repeating patterns. Think of how much of the internet, the world, has changed since January 8, 2012, and how much of the web has decayed away.
Yet, DS106 and its Daily Create go on. Every day. Without a miss. Without paywalls or ads or data surveillance.
Share a photo or a drawing or if you insist, some AI regurgitated image that capture not only the idea of a pattern that repeats but also one that does it over time. Or remix some of the flickr tagged ones that still exist.
Better yet, invite someone new to join in, and keep the energy going, repeating, onwards. As the old rebel cry goes, “#4Life”

@creating #tdc4744 #ds106 On repeating patterns on the 13th birthday of the #dailycreate The patterns are in our snow fence, they are uniform, but also bend and twist in the wind. But more interesting are the wave shadow patterns they create in the snow.

Also back tagging to the very first one #tdc1 and sending out a h/t to @timmmmyboy who built the first gen of the Daily Create, something still alive on the web, w/o ads or fees or surveillance.

@cogdog @creating Only because of your hard work rebuilding and iterating it is it still online. Kudos!
