I HAVE FIVE MORE welcoming addresses to enjoy before I hang up my whiteboard markers. Today, I'm taking notes in a yellow Moleskine journal during the annual welcoming address. As in previous years, I plan to annotate some notes with rectangles, some with stars, and some with exclamation points. Each of those annotations indicates a call to action I should consider.

I'M VISITING a f ew art supply shops in Limerik today, hoping to find a purple Derwent pencil. I share my pencils with my two primary school children and the purple one is most likely to be chewed down to its core.

THE IDEA STARTED years ago with an email from John Tierney, an archaeologist who thought I might share a passion for exploring the past. Back then, in 2008, we compared notes while visiting the graves inside the Rock of Cashel. More than a decade later, I'm taking those graveside thoughts into a community project I'll follow called #MyClonmel and watch young teens along with third level creative students uncover layers of a town's past.

STARTING WITH A GITHUB GIST, we're trying to see if a simple embed code causes content edited on a desktop to magically appear on a blog page. It works! If you click the image, you get my current podcast subscriptions--I'm leaving them on Github.
Since the Github Gist appears in Markdown (and it doesn't use word wrap), I'll explain what I've written below the break. When reviewing this blog post, I realised I have to change some of the landing destinations to better suit the project.

WE SPENT MORE THAN SIX HOURS inside One Microsoft Place and learned how to create Sphero Chariots before donning Hololens (in the photo) to catch over-sized insects running around Microsoft Dreamspace in Dublin. This was a major life event for 11yo Mia, 8yo Dylan, and three members of the Youth Media Team. I wish every primary school student in Ireland could avail of this engaging experience.

I HAVE SEVERAL BOXES of cables and connectors stacked inside our garage and inside my work space. And I'm delighted whenever I discover an old item gives new functionality to some of my long-standing pieces of recording gear. Today, I enjoyed a simple recording session with XLR mics providing audio inputs to my Samsung Note 9. I captured the workflow in a Topgold Audio Clip on Spreaker.

You can subscribe to my short form audio clips by asking your phone to play Topgold Audio Clips on Spotify or on any good audio network.

CLAIRE BENTLEY took a pair of Rode Smart Lav+ lapel mics into the noisiest part of the Buttermarket Cafe to recap the most prominent coverage of art on the Tipperary Live website today. The top arts coverage is about the Junction Arts Festival.
Listen to "#ClonmelArts According to Google E04" on Spreaker.
I've started listening to #clonmelarts and my phone has started offering me updates at least once an hour. If you want to listen to what I'm learning, you can ask for "Clonmel Junction Arts Podcast" and you'll enjoy a wide diversity of cross-talk about the biggest summer arts festival in the sunny southeast of Ireland.

PART OF THE SUMMER involves watching creative students jump into artistic events as well as assessing how they analyse news around them. This summer, my best students are watching art on the walls around Clonmel (see photo of work by Robert Ballagh).

AFTER LISTENING TO the South Tipp Arts Podcast we thought it might be useful to create a podcast about the top arts festival in Tipperary--the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival. With the help of creative intern Claire Bentley and the guidance of festival director Cliona Maher, 10 episodes will complement the 2019 running of the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival.
Listen to "CJAF Sneak peek inside the Junction Festival E01" on Spreaker.
