A robot head wears a human brain like a hat. The brain is pink, as you’d expect, with black rigid lines firing throughout, acting like brain waves. The robot’s head is grey, like the colour of stainless steel. It has two large, round eyes. Oddly, they are blue and very human-like. The robot doesn’t have a mouth, only two nuts and bolts on either side of a metal plate. The metal plate connects to the robot’s neck, which is made up of multiple rectangular pieces of metal stacked atop each other. The robot is attempting to mimic life, but it only stares back at you soullessly.

With a prompt from my brain

Why write and create when you're an outdated human using archaic tools: read 436 words prompted by the brain behind The Davis Daily.

Three ovals with thick, black lines intersect to create the logo for the television show, The Big Bang Theory. Two of the ovals cross in a x shape, while the third oval lies on top, straight up and down. There’s a black circle in the middle of the ovals, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the left, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the right, and another black circle on the oval running straight up and down. Below the ovals is the word “bazinga!” in big block letters followed by an exclamation point. A thick black lightning bolt runs horizontal beneath the word bazinga.

How to hit hard with the ‘real’ stuff in your writing and storytelling: read 259 words from the heart of a human on The Davis Daily.

A black and white pencil drawing depicts two people sitting in a boat on a small lake. A lone house sits in the background along the shoreline. A tree stands tall beside the house, with low brush and bushes growing next to it. The sun is full in the sky. The shadows of three birds are silhouetted in front of the sun, flying off into the distance and disappearing into the horizon. A small country church sits atop a ledge to the right of the lake. A steeple reaches up from the roof. A fence winds along the cliffside and unkempt grass grows next to it. A tall tree with big branches full of leaves is behind the church, with another trio of birds flying off into the skyline.

Why go fishing when you wake up angry: catch a little peace of mind in 443 words on The Davis Daily.

The image is a close up of three hand-drawn pencils. The pencils are laying flat with the tips angled towards each other. Each tip is broken, with bits of lead strewn about the ends of the pencils. The image suggests a writer or artist is trying to master their craft, taking multiple attempts to get a particular piece of writing or artwork right.

Creativity, craft, the risk of going too fast: read 809 words on why you shouldn’t rush results in advertising, marketing, and branding.

This is a detailed black-and-white pen drawing of an ornate hourglass. The hourglass has a thick, rounded top and bottom connected by two bulbous columns. Inside, a steady stream of sand twists down through the narrow neck into the lower chamber. The piling sand forms the shape of a human skull. The skull appears weathered and partially eroded rather than anatomically correct. It has large, hollow eye sockets, a dark triangular nasal cavity, and several pointed teeth. Shadows make it seem as if the eyeless skull is still looking at you. Less than half of the sand remains in the upper chamber, while the skull in the lower chamber is nearly complete. Small leaves drift down and around the hourglass. The drawing is a visual metaphor, suggesting the passage of time and the inevitability of death.

Life, death, and what to do with the time between – in 68 words on The Davis Daily.

A bushel of lilac flowers grows lush from a branch stemming from the main bush. The flower's petals are a mix of light purples and dark purples. Some are large and some are small. Some are pushed forward, their light purple petals beaming from being in the spotlight. Some are pushed back, their dark purple petals blush deeply from the attention. Two green leaves grow from a strong, brown stem. The lilac is pretty and fragrant, like the sweet smell of a summer’s morning after a light rain. It stands tall and proud. Three bulbs stand at the top of the bushel just about ready to bloom.
