I am trying to deal with mental health issues following the tumultuous US election. I don’t know if my 5yo Samsung phone will let me show the approach I’m taking.
Wondering why a fresh blue wave failed to wake up America–it looks like Donald Trump will never need to leave the White House. What I’m seeing at sunrise after the 2024 US elections is a big win for Russia, a loss for Ukraine, win for big business, loss for the environment, big win for …
I’m planning a hands-on AI workshop for OEB.global at the end of November, sharing some of the contents of my sling sack. #OEB24 The workshop is billed as a “Hands-on Practical Workflows with AI Tools”. I need to make videos in square format, based on how this content pushed out to …
Zuck is grappling with the challenge of maintaining a platform that supports free speech while also combating misinformation. He has vowed to push back against government pressure to censor content in the future. Meta has changed its internal policies so it no longer demotes content while waiting …
Simply by turning off the sound of their televised meeting, you could tell who won the debate between Trump (who looked like an incumbent) and Harris (who appeared as a challenger). The debate highlighted stark contrasts in their demeanor and messaging. Trump appeared frustrated, interrupting …
Feeling proud of our local band. And discovering teens I know who make their marching melodies resonate.
I’m writing a NTS that I can put into my Google Calendar for 1530 August 25, 2024 on the pinpoint of the fountain on the square of Cahir. The event is the Cahir Historical Society’s Bianconi-themed guided tour of Cahir. After the walking tour, the Society will show the documentary …
Excellent advice about leaving Twitter coming from [https://katie0martin.bsky.social](Katie Martin) in the FT. Like Katie, I’ve discovered Bluesky is a haven for constructive dialogue. More than 10,000 UK users agreed last month, based on new Bluesky accounts on the service. Maybe most of …
There’s a reason why Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said all diseases begins in the gut. That advice hits home with me after listening to the Edufit team tell me that I should give my gut a little bit of love. I’m starting by doing a deep dive into using broccoli every day, …
I know university students who might not start their Honours Degree programmes because of a lack of student housing locally. I wonder if we should snap photos of local pubs that are no longer open because they could be converted to student housing without one of the layers of planning permission. …
I’m amazed to see the uptake of pedal power in Dublin as cycle lanes become well-established. According to IrishCycle.com, “There has been a 53% decrease in the number of cars on average on Dublin’s Bachelor’s Walk since 2017 when bus and tram or priority measures were put in place. …
I shouldn’t be surprised by how technology keeps expanding capabilities. But I am so happy watching how technology can help students learn and how noninvasive tech can help young people connect with the real world around them. While watching a short chat between my 13yo son and a talented 13yo …
One of the reasons I want to get a Samsung Galaxy Watch is to track my sleep and to document sleep apnea. I want to attack both of those things because a shortage of shut-eye could be keeping me fat. Several large epidemiological studies suggest there may be a link. People who sleep fewer than seven …
Global warming is a reality. I’m impressed by the innovations displayed by solar panel installation teams in my local area. I hope I can access Green Energy Loans through the credit union but think I won’t be approved for the €10,000 euro we need to fully cover our roof with sustainable …
Twenty years ago, I spotted gray hairs printing emails on a daily basis. I remember that observation whenever I see department heads and meeting organisers print their agendas for review. And I’m more comfortable referring to outlines in my Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks during Zoom calls or while …
Trying to declutter. It’s a lifetime malady. Fighting the clutter gene by reducing my paperwork flow to single pages in my Leuchtturm 1917 journals.
I’m sharing a thoughtful piece of writing from Adrian Weckler, Ireland’s top technology journalist. He points out we need to do something about the fact that more than 20% of people in Ireland believe most things they read online. According to last week’s Red C poll for the Electoral …
So happy to see the quality of the videos recorded by Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. We visited an art gallery then had ice cream across the street while the Magisto app produced this quick clip. I wonder if the video clip shows up in Mastodon clients.

So you’re thinking about decamping to Ireland as the heat inside American political circles starts increasing. You can’t expect to be like me in the mid-90s and drive off the ferry with your car as a non-EU citizen going to work in an American field office. And if you don’t have a …
Currently in our little cabin watching a dog sleep while I prep some instavideo shots. Then I went out to see my daughter’s first solo music performance. Proud dad.
With the Eras Tour set to spend three days in Dublin, I asked Perplexity if Taylor Swift has more impact than The Beatles. This question “has sparked intense debate among music fans and industry observers. This comparison between two iconic acts from different eras highlights the evolving …
I’m from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where plenty of Trump signs and MAGA bumper sticks dot the landscape. Biden isn’t winning over enough voters in the battleground states and things look bleak for him in Pennsylvania. As Patrick Healy explains in the New York Times, “In the …
Cycling to lunch youtu.be/vgBXL051f… because I need wind in my hair after I’ve hunched over my laptop for more than two hours straight. There is nothing on a screen that is good as a breeze passing through my cycling helmet. Scrolling through screens is nothing like cycling around town. …
