High Water Mark E483
I hit a high water mark on my blog yesterday (64 pages views on one day) and although that count is 200 below my daily average during 2002-2003, I am proud of the collaborative process underlying it.

Sticking With What Works E481
I am rewarming resolutions from 2018 and 2019 and confronting three numbers every day. I want to renew three acqauintenances every day. I need to commit to seven minutes of physical exercise every day. And I hope to write 1000 words every day. You can see the Zoom H6 I used to record this clip by viewing my podcasting album on Flickr. Do you have numbers you're counting in the new year?

Inner Illuminations E479
SOME SNIPPETS. I'm culling some inner illuminations from John Peavoy and Gavin Sheridan as they share moments from #othervoices in Dingle. I'm currently working on spotlighting people development through final year academic modules I teach at http://clonmeldigital.com and I know if I deliver upskilling as a badge of honour, I will be successful. I should also ensure identity rights are on several academic modules. As we continue renovating our home, I realise we need an ethernet connection from our router to our gaming screens. That will be challenging. QUESTION: Do you use AI to help you write smarter?FINDINGS: The Xioami Mi Smart Band 4 is only 40 euro. I'm intrigued by the 160 euro Terrazzo Wireless Charging stand.CURRENTLY LISTENING to @documentally on metal detectors, @adrianweckler on post-founder depression, CBC Spark on failure, and @freakonomics on "how to change your mind".

Zoom H6 Spreaker Studio E478
I enjoy using my Zoom H6 field recorder to line directly into my Samsung Note 9's earbud port like I'm doing with this clip. I'm talking into the MSH-6 capsule. The audio lines out with a Røde Micon-2 on a cable to a Røde TRRS pin in the Note 9's chassis. Spreaker Studio takes the audio up into http://spreaker.com/topgoldie where you can subscribe and hear the result as a Topgold Audio Clip. If you have questions, hit me up at http://twitter.com/topgold and I will elaborate.

Memory Mic and Cupcakes E477
We looked for "best cupcakes near me" and discovered Sweet Caroline's of Clonmel did not appear in the results so we took the Sennheiser Memory Mic into town to sample both excellent pastry and to produce trans media that supports the meme of "Clonmel USP". Without a doubt, Sweet Caroline cupcakes are a USP. Read more at http://www.insideview.ie and let @topgold know if your local cupcakes are dope.

Correlations In Workflow E476
I'm writing about efficiencies I'm trying to realise on my blog http://insideview.ie/2019/11/correlations-workflow.html and hoping PowerBI can display a relationship between peaks in readership and peaks in listenership. I know http://twitter.com/topgold drives most of my traffic. I want to enjoy a boost from http://instagram.com/topgold so I'm using http://wavve.co to make small teasers. I also use http://canva.com/join/tour-issue-cookies when making compelling visual stories. If you want to see images along with this audio clip, use http://spreaker.com/topgoldie or ask @topgold directly.

At My Mobile Desk E475
Using a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 mouse as I talk and that lets me share a snippet from Pat Phelan while shouting out to @firemanrich in New York @omaniblog in Cork and @dewuan in Minnesota. I've also learned to respect the Spiderverse.

Admiring Dawn Raiders E474
As I walk our Bedlibgton Terrier around a local green before sunrise, I know several cyclists nearby are pointed east in search of a perfect sunrise shot. Look for the result by drilling into #dawnraiders on http://instagram.com
