I have been getting most of my Audiomo experience via Pocketcasts where I enjoy snippets from @katesparkle @VIpodcasting @MCfontaine @omaniblog @genahaskett @documentally @BarbaraKB @MrIndyCat @soulcruzer and I hope to hear most of tbese voices drop into my earbuds during the next 12 months.

My Tumi bag has a QRC link. Inside its luggage tag is a Popl NFC identity disk. And in my pocket is a Tappy card that lets me share details by tapping a phone. I'm also enjoying threaded convos sparked by https://twitter.com/gregbd

Sharing how I read the Sunday papers. For me to see what's happening, the stories have to drop into my Stoopinbox. I also use Readwise, Instapaper, and Pocketcasts for my Sunday routine.

We just received approval to run a Masters Degree in Creative Leadership. We will be helping people develop creative thinking and innovation skills in a structured set of immersive learning experiences. Follow @topgold to hear the story unfold.

Responding to Greg Dickson in Canada after he asked how we are dealing with lingering effects of a global pandemic. I have reset my behaviour and no longer think I need to go to work when I have a deep cough or flu. And now that we have restored normal service, I relish doing all the things we used to enjoy as part of life.

You can help replace foam mats with real mattresses in pediatric hospitals in Ukraine by dropping spare change into https://donorbox.org/matresses-for-ukraineUkrainian hospitals lacked resources before the war and hostilities stretched resources even further. Mattresses are poor. Patients often have only thin, worn and stained foam pads as mattresses. The Donor Box Campaign will improve hospital facilities for young children in pediatric care.

Props to Dylan (10) for creating short videos thst are getting 2000 views within a day of their posting on Twitter. See more of Dylan's work at https://youtube.com/ymtfm Cover art is a set of Mont Blanc pens we found.

I was wrong about the owner of Slideshare--it's Scrib. I hope to get a Ricoh Theta X or some kind of portable 3D scanner. If you're like me, you like see highlights people share on the Kindle books they're reading. BIG WIN: We are converting more than 3.3% of people visiting our booking engine. In fact, nearly 6% of people landing on http://ictedu.ie/booking attend the annual ICT in Education Conference. Cover art is snapped next to one of our bookshelves at home.

Recorded during a May Bank Holiday under the gazebo of the Ashgrove Cabin. Cover art of my view looking at a door that needs black paint.I'm trying to complement my day with a simple audio blog item. I've made these occasional audio blogs since 2010 and four years ago I tried to import a string of them into Spreaker. They remind me of unfinished tasks. I can hear my own voice telling me what I'm trying to do. Today, I'm still spinning my wheels by not holding myself to ticking off items on my to-do list.I need a To-Do List Imperative--something that encourages me to stay on task. I'm starting to wonder if I need a better electronic system, something more than Google Keep.My blog tells me the to-do list I used the longest was Wunderlist, a service acquired by Microsoft. So I've downloaded it and hope to see its integration to Outlook on my laptop. It doesn't integrate smoothly on my Samsung Note 9 but I'm used to that.I'm putting my hands up with an admission that I need better focus. One of my creative media students tells me it's all down to executive planning. I need better executive planning, starting with a priority system that should be carved into a nightly routine.Saying these things out loud helps me think about what should be on my tick-off list today. Perhaps I should return at the end of the Bank Holiday Weekend and report my success.Before I leave, I want Google to recognise my black Gothic Door and give it standing. The black Gothic Door with its Norseman tells part of the story about where I am seated while typing these thoughts. If you follow some of the links to the black Gothic Door, you might arrive inside the cabin where I'm seated. Canadian Robert Neil has done that already by using Google Earth.If you find the space, you're welcome to visit. I'll beam you in via Zoom if you request.

It's time to narrow my focus so I can deliver a high quality content stream for the annual ICT in Education Conference. That means drilling down into activity streams of teachers and then harvesting interesting ideas through Notion that can be shared during the conference and on https://ictedu.ie/ict-in-education-blogI'm thinking about a routine that we're trying to choreograph for the ICT in education conference. It's an annual event. And we're late getting the proceedings underway this year, for May 14 2022, in Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland. And although that's top of my mind, what's actually as important is a series of conversations that I've had with Greg Dickson, in Alberta, Canada. Where I sit in County Tipperary, Ireland, I'm always trying to figure out a way to get stuff done--you know, better focus, accomplishment--activities that actually have collaborative value. That's my focus. That's my measure of merit. And I just want to say that, with all the little technologies that I have, and all the information that's distracting and yet helpful, I have zeroed in on a knowledge management information management method that involves Notion, plus Roam Research, and blogging in a photo stream. If everything works out the way it should, on Saturday, the 14th of May, I'll explain the process to teachers and university lecturers who attend the ICT in Education Conference. The big win today is being able to use the little Chrome extensions for the processes I just mentioned. Thanks for listening to my short little Topgold Audio Clip. I'll be back tomorrow with another. Bye for now.
