I’m taking a short advanced programme about Creativity and Critical Thinking. In some corners, critical thinking is at odds with creativity. In my life, critical thinking processes help me question, analyze, and evaluating, while creativity helps me produce clever ideas and explore multiple …
Useless British Passport
“In France, I am Irish, thanks to my grandmother, born in County Antrim. In Canada, I am Canadian, having been born there. Albeit I left aged ten months. In Britain, where I spent much of my childhood, I am British, as my parents were,” writes Jonathan Miller in …
Productivity Bound by Soft Leather
Happy to report I’ve achieved PRODUCTIVITY with my Traveler’s Notebooks.
Time for a Scratch Format Methinks
It’s probably time for me to totally reset my five year old phone. And replace its battery. And repair its cracked screen. But I want to use the time and money to practice some touch and go landings instead. I’ve succeeded in paring down the number of apps on the handset with tips from …
Hard Work on the Surface Book
Putting in the hard yards on the Surface Book before the next school term starts.
Test Drive Your Tech #protip
I’m a fan of the Ricoh Theta 360 camera range and we have several on campus. Yesterday, I discovered the Theta V I planned to use needed recharging, resetting (uses the SIM pin I carry), and a 669 MB firmware upgrade. So it pays to test drive the tech you need to use before you need to use it.
Talking to clever creatives in Clonmel about establishing a presence on Mastodon. First up @designerofmotions@metalhead.club
I have a Calendar Item called Focus Time. When it kicks off, I close electronic items and return to thinking with my pen.
Two more weeks and my morning coffee view will be leafless.
The Reach of the Internet
I’ve made a few DIY YouTube clips that now have more than 4000 views. I think it’s nice to know that if you share how you might solve one person’s problem, you’re probably showing hundreds of others how to do the same thing. Making YouTube tuts and sharing discoveries on …
Simple podcasting guide for 2022
Simple podcast guide for 2022. It’s much easier making shareable audio now, when compared to my iPod days.
Wondering what about the collection we could compile if I joined my brothers and cousins in compiling letters our parents and grandparents wrote in the middle of the 20th century. I’m inspired while currently reading Letters of Ted Hughes by Ted Hughes 📚
Remembering with Sunflowers
Spending time in a remembrance garden with acres of sunflowers.
I'm passing along some mobile journalism skills to my youngest. He [asked our green grocer a few questions](https://www.spreaker.com/episode/50885808) about fresh fruit and vegetables.
Peak Heat in Ireland
Planning for the hottest day of the year in Ireland. It may hit 86F under clear blue skies. No rain for the past week. My sunflowers are objecting.
My Current Pen
I found a clever Mont Blanc knockoff. 🖋
Snapped at OEB08
My first visit to Online Educa Berlin was in December 2008 where I joined a meet-up of microbloggers in the Marlene Lounge of the Intercontinental Hotel. When I posted this image, I used Photosynth to produce the group from a set of overlapping pans with my Nokia E90. Things have changed a lot as …
Amazon on track with top search engine
by Bernie Goldbach in The Irish Examiner, October 1, 2004
I started dabbling with Amazon’s A9 search engine a few weeks ago and soon discovered I had earned a 1.5% discount for my Amazon purchases just because I had searched with A9.com-a special offer that Amazon does not advertise. Amazon …
