Digital Security – Thing 4
The only apps I use for online connections are Facebook and Messenger. I have locked down my profile and photos securely in Facebook so that no one without my permission can access my personal information. As Gandalf the Great stated in the Lord of Th…
Digital Footprint – Thing 3
I googled myself and this picture came up on the search. It is an artistic design painted by Stella De Marchi, definitely not me……lol. However, I have a passion for artwork and still have a few abstract pieces hanging on my parent’s wall from my high school years. My favourite artist is Wassily Kandinsky andContinue reading “Digital Footprint – Thing 3”
Pretty Bird? Twitter- Thing 7
I have always seen twitter as a personal press release tool and as one that does not advertise myself have only ever used it passively reading tweets from those I chose to follow. I have since left the platform as it could get quite toxic. My Social Media activity in my dotage is concentrated mainlyContinue reading “Pretty Bird? Twitter- Thing 7”

Digital Notebooks
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 […]
My learning journey on 23Things commences
The idea of blogging is not something that sits comfortably with me. I think my issues with it are; why does anyone care what I have to say about this or that? Why does everyone feel like they have to have an opinion on something? I’m not a regular rea…
My Heart Belongs to Podcasts
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 […]
Digital Curation
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 […]
Thing 7 – Twitter
Todays ‘thing’ focuses on Twitter. I love using Twitter! I use it every day for work. However, I didn’t know you could create lists of specific Twitter users so I had a look…This is a very useful feature for my Twitter account as it meant I could cat…
