#tdc4918 #ds106 Make Gifs Great Again

My friend and podcasting partner Michael Branson Smith (MBS) proclaimed before a recent recording that “GIFs are dead.” This coming from one of the foremost artists in the field. I was not only taken aback, but deeply hurt. Some of my very best blog posts are simple GIFs from the heady days of ds106, are they now just meaningless artifacts forever looping in a vacuum during this post-GIF era? I don’t want to believe that GIFs are dead, so to counter MBS’s irresponsible claim I’m back to making GIFs. I’ll die for GIFs!

I made a GIF (using GIPHY) of my dog getting caught eating my cheesecake and pretend like he didn’t!
