Just gathering a few podcast feeds. Problems:
1. Search finds links to podcast aggregators/apps rather than original site 2. These sites tend not to show the RSS feeds.
I know I can search & sub in Castro (or other app), but I just wanted to gather rss urls.

short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Had a walk round the hills around the reservoir, today. Felt my age as I’ve not been out much lately. Notes, photos & map: walkmap
New iPhone feature. This is cool. In class we used use keynote or online services to cut out images. This is even simpler. No need for green screen. Works on my 4yr old phone. Hope it comes to iPadOS.
Running through my camera roll now iOS 16 installed. Impressed with the lookup of birds & insects that has been added to flora.
Read: The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel 📚★★★★★
Amazing multi viewpoint story. Writing had me invested in each of the diverse characters as they came into focus. Then their stories slowly fitted together. Beautiful. Really catches the way people imagine different lives.
I’ve been blogging & thinking about software in education for a while. One of the biggest changes in what I read has been the increase in out of the box solutions & a decrease in bending things in unexpected ways. I am more interested in the latter. See Folk Interfaces
Read: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan 📚 ★★★★★
A beautiful wee book that drew me in quietly & has stuck in my mind. Ireland 1985, A gentle slightly troubled man digs deep. “Hunters in the Snow” on the cover seems fitting as the village approaches a snowy Christmas.
I just got a Badger 2040 on a bit of a whim.
A hackable, programmable badge with E Ink® display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2040.
I’ve only followed the basic tutorials so far & don’t know python but I think this could be an interesting wee device.
Read: In the House of Lies by Ian Rankin ★★★☆☆ 📚
Usual enjoyable stuff Rebus retired and sticking his nose in.
