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 …
I have to say the AI inside Otter.ai is very clever. I’m learning to use key words like “top priority” and “important task” and “milestone”. Otter helps produce a timely report of a meeting that can be used as planning document. Anyone else discovered this …
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.
I’m planning to boost my MoJo productivity by enhancing my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. The handy camera should be in every journo’s kit bag. Recommended: insideview.ie/2024/06/r…
Leaving Lisbon with 56 Mondays left on the payroll. www.topgold.ie/56-monday…
I enjoy my two tub brekkies.
I ask people who have completed my digital transformation training to share how they’re using AI. “Our team started using Microsoft Copilot every day. We have been able to automate most of our customer enquiries with AI tools.”
I am in Portugal, on a college campus in Leiria where I discussed how various European governments were handling immigration. Back in Ireland, “Pat Kenny keeps his cool as spluttering reporter is doused in pepper spray” at the site of a proposed migrant housing facility. I enjoy the …
Lisbon is where you can watch your lunch being caught.
Enjoying a cathedral-like experience in a Starbucks in Lisbon.
Since 7 July 2024, European safety regulations mean that all new cars will be fitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) which will alert drivers when they are going faster than the limit and encourage them to slow down. There will be a beep, the steering wheel will vibrate and, if all else …
Wondering how I would have defined “Internet Levels” from my days of using acoustic cups on dial-up handsets in 1992.
As I prep for my final year as a university lecturer, I’m researching the effectiveness of gamification as a pedagogical strategy for enhancing cognitive skills development. I’m thinking about asking six students to carve a space for an Air Tag into their hard cover Media Writing …
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 …
Happy to see that even with creative tools available through AI, my UX students will always be able to get nixers involving the production of logos and creative imagery. It’s something that I’ve learned while teaching SMEs in the County Tipperary Chamber Skillnet
I’m currently experimenting with 1200 words that Microsoft Copilot scraped from some working material concerning “Personal Digital Transformation with AI Tools” and I’m going to simply paste the into my microblog content management system. Feel free to scroll on by as I …
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 …
A major trend I have noticed is that many GPTs are becoming browser-based freemium services. Free to use in a laptop browser but you pay to download the results or you subscribe to keep using the service beyond the first few free tokens.
I asked SlidesGPT to make me a PowerPoint deck that shows I am going to explain key points of interest about AI’s use with small business. The deck should mention the importance of having your own personal knowledge network. It should point out how Microsoft Copilot and GPT-4 can give insights …
One conclusion I reached while teaching online is I should attempt to deliver something of value to students in every section of my course materials. So I broke down each hour into several sections, each including a valuable takeaway.
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 …
