"We Found Rainbows," animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

“We Found Rainbows,” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina

Oh no!!

The ds106.us server was down today. For a long time. One of the unicorns got in touch with me on my iPhone, and we started surfing the web, trying to track down the missing ds106 rainbows.

We searched and searched. We found some of the rainbows. And we tried to get them heading back towards the server. 

Perhaps you can help the unicorns and the rainbows?  Make an animated GIF celebrating the behind the scenes work that keeps the ds106.us server happy. Again, this was an assignment before there was an Animated GIF category — found hiding in the Visual Assignments category as @cogdog‘s wonderful Visual Assignment 842: Rainbows and Unicorns in the Server Room.

Be sure to tag your post appropriately so that it syndicates into the correct assignment page.

Come on.  Tell me you’ve never wished you had your very own unicorn.  Just try.

You’d be lying, right?  And if yo’ mama raised you right, you can’t tell a lie, right? Right.

In case you’re just tuning in here, Saturday of this week was my Sissy’s birthday.  Around these parts, that’s *kinda* a big deal.  Like a national holiday. (duh)  What does my Sissy want?  A unicorn.

So do I deliver?

Duh.

So, in honor of my Sissy’s birthday, our unicorn friend accompanied us on our family outings today.  So our buddy Unicorn accompanied me while doing two other assignments (Art Comes To Life, and Return to the Scene of the Crime), then went on a hike with us and hit lots of fun points along the C.F. Phelps Wildlife Reserve trail, and then went to Moo-Thru with us (where he tried to steal my mint chocolate chip sundae, but FAILED).  But don’t worry, he had plenty of fun with us today, and is quite a happy unicorn. <3

Enjoy, and happy birthday, Sissy. <3  I love you with all my heart.

 

(and for the boring stuff)

This is the Buddy Photo Visual Assignment, which represents 2 out of my 10 stars for this week.

I uploaded all of my photos to Flickr into a Buddy Photo set that I created just for this project.  I then went to the Set page, and clicked on Slideshow.  From there, I clicked on Share in the top right corner, and copied the embed code, and pasted it into the HTML tab on my WordPress Dashboard. :)   Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!  And fun and oh-so-worth it. :)
