So…. As this course covers issues such as copyright, video, and a bunch of other topics that seem super relevant for my library work right now – I thought I would try my hand at a video outside of my usual work tasks to share books I feel strongly about. (Also to use Youtube for […]

I have heard of Geocaching before, but have never really done it. I am usually on the organiser side rather than the paticipant side. I used to be an interactive character in themed city-wide treasure hunts run by various companies, but obviously they were timed events, as you can’t have a person accessible 24/7/365 for […]

So my note taking is very…not tidy. It has a very distinct..let’s call it an ‘aesthetic’ – handwritten and handmade are very much how I work – but you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, and I can definitely see a pro in being able to collage together and organise my notes for a […]

Hi, my name is Roslyn and I am a podcastaholic. Like, I am seriously considering getting one of my favorites represented in a future tattoo. I am in one too, as a voice (are you surprised? no. What if I told you it was a Queer urban fantasy? Still no? I’m not exactly a lady […]

I must admit – I am a Pinterest addict. Being a visual person, the image-focused digital curation platform is ideal – along with folders. I like folders, and folders in folders. I have a LOT of projects and saving information on a wig commission or puppet in the same place as ideas for re-organising my […]

Don’t get stuck in the YouTube rabbit hole.Don’t get stuck in the YouTube rabbit hole.Focus…23 Things. Come on. Focus. Ok. Here we go. Let’s pick something nice to listen to while I click around.Ze Frank…that’s a good video to play around on. I like his voice.“What’s on your HappyList?”Sounds good.Ok…Transcription was auto generated, but it […]

Well of COURSE I am going to link to this Open Educational Resource. Folklore is my jam, and these tragic incidents are a part of folklore and history. I always wonder what the stories of the accused were; midwifes, political adversaries, someone who just looked at you the wrong way. I consume a lot of […]

The assignment for this one isn’t applicable to me – so let me just tell you some of my love for Creative Commons, and slip in two CC pieces of media while I do. I love the Creative Commons licencing. As a mixed media artist, as well as a storyteller and folk-enthusiast, I see a […]

Look. I love Google products as much as the next person – but I am not doing Google Hangouts. It’s over a month in to COVID-19 isolation and video chat platforms have taken off – Microsoft Teams, House Party, Discord, Skype, Zoom, FaceTime….I have them all and more (except House Party, I deleted that) for […]

As someone who’s real life security system seems to be owning so much ‘weird shit’ people don’t want to come in to your home (eg. ‘Is….is that a pile of bones?’ ‘Oh yeah – I found them naturally stained black by silt in a lake. Cool huh?’‘What is that?’‘Oh! That’s a faceless monster statue my […]

So….I didn’t know I had an IMDB page. That’s news. Two indie films – one as an extra and one as a propmaker. Pretty on-brand for me, but still – strange. For the Digital Footprint component of the 23 Things, I both Googled and Duck Duck Go-ed* myself. If there’s one thing the results seem […]

Use your blog to write a short post about what you hope to gain out of the 23 Things programme. To be absolutely honest, when head office sent out an email about more digital training, I intended to put it where all the other digital training offers go. It’s not that I have anything against […]
