In a reflective mood.
Companies like Facebook aren’t building technology for you, they’re building technology for your data. They collect everything they can from FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp in order to sell visibility into people and their lives.This isn’t exactly a secret, but the full picture is hazy to most – diml...

Pretty amazing project, I’ve only dipped my toe in. almost 30 year’s ago I watched Toto the Hero at the movies. It had a great theme song. Over the years I forgot the film’s name about 10 years decided to find the song. Much googling (I was looking for boom) and I eventually found it on Youtube. Today I found it again but sung in English.
I am sure there are a lot more educational used for this amazing collection of digital music.

Not unexpected. But I am finding this series of posters from @FifeCYPIC really interesting. Wonder if they are available as pdfs?
Seeing all over how teachers are using minecraft. Have used it a little myself but only with the free trial use (and with my own subscription) Question...if you had access to minecraft here in Scotland would you use? Poll below. Share ideas of use in thread #TeamMIEEScotland
I’ve used Minecraft edu a wee bit & minetest (free) before that. Both **very** engaging. I do wonder how effective they are for the amount of time spent. I wonder if there is any research? Thinking of some of the lessons.
The dabchicks we have been watching in the park have abandoned their nest. My wife watched coots tear bits of the nest while the dabchicks splash-surfaced to try and scare them. A few hours later they had left. Still swimming around the pond, we hope they try another site.
I've said this a million times. One more time won't hurt. Podcasting was created so everyone can make media. It was designed, deliberately, without gatekeepers. To have a podcast, you have to have a public RSS feed with enclosures. That's why you hear at the end of podcasts, "You can get this where ever you get podcasts."
The suggested punishment is a bit harsh. Everything else rings true.

Strange light in the park tonight. Strong sunlight and heavy clouds.
