Planning a scary Halloween: https://insideview.ie/2026/10/25/planning-a-scary-halloween.html In 2010, I was on the camera crew of the scary film The Devil’s Bit with a group of young people in County Tipperary. In 2026, I’m back with my Osmo Pocket 3 to document another scary event this Halloween

Is that you with the pink top @educatefran?

I was going to churn from one Irish electricity provider to another provider and my current provider just gave me €500 of credit to stay with them--that powers my home through the winter and beyond Paddy's Day. Have a good weekend everyone :-)

I often log into free WiFi like this one with emails from accountspayable people who were slow to respond.

Gemini cleans my video archive: https://insideview.ie/2026/10/21/gemini-cleans-my-video-archive.html I’m thankful that my LCA intern uses Filmora to stitch together a rough cut of videos and photos made during my teaching sessions. And then Gemini tells me what’s inside the clips.

I teach elderly people how to enhance their critical thinking skills with their mobile phones. Occasionally, I record their feedback on my Osmo Pocket 3 or my Galaxy phone.

Tech bros and venture capitalists have effectively stepped in to provide hugely expensive digitalinfrastructure or new weapons that the US national security state could not afford unaided. Now Musk is literally trying to call the shots.

I don't let my AI agent listen to meetings but when I use OCR to scan my handwritten notes, Claude offers alternative perspectives arising from my cursive scribbling. I've always learned by reading my notes. I've educated an agent to broaden my awareness. Transformative.

OneDrive serves me throwbacks and in this one I realise I've normally spent the middle of October in another country training dozens of students.

I used to fly Heavy aircraft. And once had the call sign "Brew 30 Heavy". Meta found an image of me in my blues and made this tarot card from it.

Echoing @mummyrange.bsky.social: "Musk is a threat to the world. I bet he was heavily invested in the data centers in Russia. Seems like they are a large part of his political trolls and bots in Europe and the US." He is a national security risk.

I just bought a new bag of flour and now realise why the more expensive bag might have produced sweeter apple cakes for me. Here's why China's best bakeries get their flour from Japan www.trendingonweibo.com/hotwords/chi...
