As recommended by @thesiswhisperer via #OnTheReg podcast, I’m reading Ethan Mollick’s latest book about AI. Equal parts fascinating and scary as hell.

“…it took five minutes and less than a dollar to create a virtual me delivering a lecture that was entirely written and animated by AI.” - page 42.

Are you ready for this?

I’m looking at you, Higher Education. 👀

@thesiswhisperer Oooo! I can’t wait to discuss #OnTheReg

Sitting here at lunch and working. Regular #OnTheReg listeners would know exactly how disappointed Jonathan Odonnel would be with me right now. Ping @thesiswhisperer

@thesiswhisperer got my inbox to zero and I'm outahere... holiday beckons. thanks to you and #OnTheReg for the inspiration.

I'm so thankful for our #OnTheReg family and for the opportunity to connect to such wonderful people. Thank you #Fam for coming along with @thesiswhisperer and me as we drive the 🚌 along the work highway!

Top #Saturday multitasking going on here right now: roasting a gammon while sharpening all my aquarelle pencils while listening to the new #onthereg podcast episode. Also caffeining. Life is good. #PhDLife

laughing to myself listening to the two of you @thesiswhisperer @jasondowns talking about regionalisation and centralisation in recent #OnTheReg episode - my place just announced another big restructure, less than 3 years since last one... sigh

@thesiswhisperer @jasondowns Listening to your ep that includes the discussion about the valorisation of grittiness and not enough about 'quittiness' but I just had to point out that the wisdom of the ages for that was from Kenny Rogers:

"You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em"
#OnTheReg

Hey @thesiswhisperer - my new protocol is to either have mail.app or Teams open, but never both at the same time. And when I'm finished with either, I close it down. Huge impact on the way I work. I'm much more conscious of how I am using those tools. #TwoMinuteTip #OnTheReg

@thesiswhisperer @jasondowns hello. I’m here via an October epp of #Onthereg grateful for what you’re sharing about obsidian which I’m just starting to use. You have so much great content but I have so little time. Where should I look/listen if I would like the best “story so far” or “top tips” for digital academic literacy #OnTheReg style.

Doing favours for publishers is always worthwhile because they can pay you in books (this one will be great for #OnTheReg @jasondowns)

New Podcast season of #OnTheReg is Go #GTD @jasondowns

First page of a google slide deck with the title 'Getting Sh!t Done in 2023', which is, of course, really 'Getting shit done'

Ok, so this is happening! At least, If I say it's happening we have to follow through on the #OnTheReg Bullet Journal Guide for Academics :-) @jasondowns and I even have some adult supervision with a designer on board. Sorted.

Screen grab of a Google doc called 'bullet journal guide for academics' with a bit of the provisional chapter list. There's stuff about teaching, research and service in there. Going to be fun!

@ResearchWhisperer @tawnyaazar really captures my #mood (and thanks for the #OnTheReg shout out in the post!). I am on the other place solely to boost mastodon, so I posted this one with glee 🙌

Recording set up for #OnTheReg with @jasondowns - we have a big mailbag to get through this week. Thanks for all the speakpipes and emails!

Microphone in front of shield (to stop echoes from the vertical surfaces) with laptop, mouse and screen in the background. There's a towel on the desk (to reduce echoes from that horizontal surface - room is carpeted, which takes care of most of the rest). All set to go!

Thanks @BronwynHemsley for the idea of using GPT3 to make a teaching outline... you know, it's not bad at it. So I used Open AI GPT3 to make a podcast outline for the #OnTheReg pod @jasondowns and I are recording in a few weeks. I ended up structuring it around our conversation, so it's kind of an interview I guess... I must admit, It was pretty fun to talk to it and about hours faster than doing it on my own 👀 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qy-qM9s1GG3s_OgfuHZu77Q0T0TCXtPUDxCQrbJH2MM/edit?usp=sharing

Listening to the latest #OnTheReg and guffawing to myself at @thesiswhisperer and @jasondowns adventures. Esp Jason and his Battle of the Boots.
