Digital Leader

Hoping we found a good solution to help big kid’s Digital Leader application.

He found it difficult to focus and get his head around answering the questions in a sensible (let alone helpful) way.

Instead, I recorded him speaking about the devices and tech he uses, how he helps his little brother and his parents to play games, and how using new apps like Duolingo has helped him to learn Spanish (when previously he hated Spanish lessons).

Google automatically transcribed his speech and copied it to Google Docs. There I edited out the ums and ahs and pasted it into his Discord chat with me. Then he copied it out by hand on to the application form.

ERROR 55 - Internal Communication Problem

Boss: Can you order a new printer for the office?

Me: Sure. *orders a new printer for the office*

Office: Did you order a new printer for the office? It’s arrived.

Me: Yes, I’ll come over and set it up.

Office: No need, we already moved the printer from the other office. And we have a tech person coming in Monday to set it up.

Finally figured out how to add @sod’s Search-Space and Surprise-Me plug-ins to my micro.blog.

(It requires adding the full URL as the page content.)

H/t to @Manton!

Search the people you follow on Twitter for possible Mastodon/Fediverse accounts.

I forgot the link! pruvisto.org/debirdify/

Thanks @pruvisto for such a nice tool.

Why are toasters and smoke alarms still so stupid?
