DS106 #tdc 2706

The Daily Create for today was to “Tweet one law of #ds106 to add to its own canonical list”.  Daily Creates tend to make me nervous because I often have to work with applications I have never used, create a unique idea, and tweet it out to people that I have never met before.  The pressure is intense!  In the end, I find that I have to swallow my anxieties about what others may think as well as my own perfectionist tendencies.  I might not come up with the best ideas, but at least I am making an attempt.  Then I asked myself, am I having fun with this?  I keep viewing a Daily Create as a dreaded assignment.  So I thought that I should tweet out a rule that reminded us to have fun during the process.   Since I really enjoyed the GIF activity, I decided that I should implement one in my tweet.  I created my second GIF with GIPHY and this time experimented with some text and other features to customize it to my concept.  Originally, I was searching for a Three Stooges or I Love Lucy clip, but was unable to find a decent mixing scene.  Eventually, I found this clip from one of the Matilda movies and realized it had the “sprinkling” and “mixing” aspect I was looking for. Ultimately I did have fun with #tdc 2706 and will try to remember my own law moving forward!
