I spent all morning putting it together and did not save my work. I have had the opportunity to connect with the ephemeral nature of the web and with the ill-will of a mind full of unmet expectations. No, Tumblr does not auto-save drafts. Just breathing and noticing my attachment to completion, as I start again and keep saving every sentence.<\/p>\n<p>I start again with half an idea of how I may put this together with the time I have left before I need to move on to the next thing. Have a tantrum? Write a stinking letter to<a href=\"http:\/\/iamtalkytina.tumblr.com\/post\/58915185531\/tina-versus-tumblr-giffight\" target=\"_blank\"> Tumblr and meet them up the stairs<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>i will just get on with my reflections for weeks 7 and 8 and write them down for a second time &#8211; may be with fewer links and shorter than the previous version, but reflections anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Key insights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily creates help me get into the habit of making stuff but do not meet any real quality criteria. I have done many and most I have forgotten. They fulfil a need in the moment but have no permanence<\/li>\n<li>Assignments give me more time to wok on something and get it to a standard I assess to be &lsquo;good enough&rsquo; &#8211; I prefer to work this way<\/li>\n<li>These last 2 weeks have taught me much and left much work in progress<\/li>\n<li>The highlight of the 2 weeks has been the radio show and whilst you can listen to the show below, i will be writing about my learning from it separately as there is much both practical and theoretical I want to unpack from the project.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of all the daily creates these last two weeks I like this one best,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/68.media.tumblr.com\/edbe85e9bb0f8298637388c2b75fa1d9\/tumblr_inline_mv4epqjg851s4px79.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>It was done in response to <a href=\"http:\/\/tdc.ds106.us\/tdc643\/\" target=\"_blank\">TDC643<\/a>\u00a0draw the internet.
