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.

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.

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 …

Memories of a wannabe videographer

Thinking about how Stephanie would have been as a videogrpaher.

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 …
