Memory Mic and Cupcakes #clonmel

WE VISITED SWEET CAROLINE'S in Clonmel and sampled delicious cupcakes chased by warm coffee. And you should too.

One Year of Happy Hands-Free Recording h/t @documentally #edchatie

AFTER 12 MONTHS of using the Sennheiser Memory Mic to create hands-free classroom recordings, I'm very happy to report I have never lost an audio segment with the Memory Mic producing high quality audio or high definition video. I'm now helping other educators understand the simple and effective workflow involved to quickly produce and share recorded minutes from academic settings.

And a big thumbs-up to Christian Payne for introducing me to the sweet little piece of durable technology. The Sennheiser Memory Mic works with iOS and Android. It's much more resistant to water immersions and concrete bounce tests than the handsets I've used to record with it. Recommended.

Resolving to create daily audio h/t @firemanrich

WHILE LISTENING to Rich Roberts bemoan the demise of random early morning audiograms, I picked up my Samsung Note 9 and responded with a resolution to restart my morning coffee notes and will publish them as Topgold Audio Clips.

Starting a Collaborative Story h/t @johntierney_ #MyClonmel

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.

Old Cables Offer Useful Extensions

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.

Sharing #clonmelarts programme items in a busy cafe

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.

Podcasting Inside #clonmelarts

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.

Ten Years Ago My Daily Source Code Dried Up

TEN YEARS AGO, in February 2009, the final edition of Adam Curry's Daily Source Code [1] dropped into my iTunes account. There's been nothing like Adam's vibe since. [2]

A few years later, out of the blue came DSC 822, so I'm embedding it here on this blog post. Then I plan to set aside 90 minutes today to listen to this podcast again because it will rewind so many riffs from the sound track of my life. Those are the kinds of things I need to keep close at hand.

Audio Logs in Primary School #edchatie

ONE OF THE MOST CHERISHED behaviours I witness involves the transfer of skills between generations. Sometimes this happens around the kitchen table as we make things.

Experimenting with @TuneIn Embeds

WHILE EXPLORING THE REACH of the past five years of the Youth Media Team, I've started embedding the TuneIn player to see if that improves the reach of the @ymtfm presence.
