I've no idea if this is good or not. HyperCard for me was the notion that anyone can make shit. The internet now is SO SODDING DIFFICULT, it is excluding so many people from expressing themselves.

changed my life! A friend showed me how to add a sound…
Read: The Odyssey by Homer translated Emily Wilson ★★★★☆ easy to read, put in context a lot of novels based on greek tales I’ve read in the last couple of years.

Working together on the latest BBC micro:bit
I’ve been using micro:bits for a few years now and these look like great additions, especially the sound in and out.
Given we have a good number in school already I doubt we will get new ones so having a bit of latest kit envy.
The illustrations on the page make the boards look gigantic.

There is an alternative to corporate bubbles online — it’s called the IndieWeb. Build your own personal websites, control your online presence, and learn on your own terms.
My current website is a constant work in progress but I have a lot of joy when I scroll through my archives. I am always excited to improve it and try new things, I can break it and fix it at my own pace and I don’t have a deadline on it. It is my safe space.
Autonomy Online: A Case For The IndieWeb — Smashing Magazine
We went for a walk over the Kilpatrick Braes to Loch Humphrey this morning. Arriving at the car part around 9am it was already pretty full. Covid has multiplied the number of people out and about.
Up the road, a bit before we turn off to the fields and braes, a fox came out, gave us a look and pogoed up the road in quite a peculiar fashion. It left a trail of wet prints that dried in a moment. There was a heron close by moving around a boggy bit of field.
A bright sunny day with a slight breeze. Up the hill what must be the last butterfly, a red admiral I think, blew past. On the moor we saw a few grouse and heard the go-back, go-back, go-back call. We hardly saw another person until we rejoined the road to the loch.
We did see a bunch of young crows dipping and diving in the uplift in a joyous fashion.
The road was pretty busy, so we returned via the muir and woods rather than the road. Now a bit busier , mostly mountain bikers.
When we got back to the car park it was overflowing, I don’t think I’ve seen the place so busy before.
Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)I remember reading the original posts that led to the book 25 Years of Ed Tech. I look forward to listening to the collaborative audio version.
Thanks for sharing this Aaron, it looks as it it will be great. Amazing lineup. Subscribed.
