iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Going through some old things. I tend to look back with a very critical eye at my younger self: I remember all the bad things I did, and none of the good ones. Found this today. I have no context or memory of it, but is nice to think I had my moments.

Very exciting stuff: Deep Research landed in the lowest-tier paid models of ChatGPT yesterday (which is fantastic timing, tbh 😆). I am currently assessing accuracy with some of my Irish colleagues in research. If you would like me to run a research question for you, ... 🧵

Sometimes it's hard to know the right question to ask, isn't it?

If you work in research or education, you've probably been cautious about using AI. I created this version of the Get Started with AI course in consultation with researchers so you can spend less time doing admin & more time doing what you love. Learn how to cut HOURS from your working week.👇

Feeling like Bear Grylls because I didn't use a firelog to light the fire. 💪

Windiest place in the world right now. Can't say that very often. Nor would you want to.

1950s, typical British beach holiday snap, 35mm film. A sealion is reading the newspaper in a deckchair.

Tried a few new Google Labs tools (not currently available here). Output is very impressive at at times: Prompt - 1950s fashion shoot, model looks out a Paris apartment, smoking. She wears a pixie cut, aubergine pencil skirt, neck tie and yellow turtleneck.

On another note, came across this awesome grotto in D8 this morning. 😍 Fair fucks to Jesus and Mary, like. Launched a hundred thousand ships with that little yarn. That one man's life story inspired so much incredible art (and, obviously, pain). Iconography FTW

Remembering that time when two women from Northern Ireland were arrested for smuggling cocaine in Peru and someone posted a screengrab od the story on FB and asked where she got her jacket.

To eat is human. To cook... divine.

A photo of a dish on a table setting. There is a ramekin of ratatouille on the plate alongside a half-burrata with anchovy, olive oil and roasted cherry tomato.

Went to the Ireland v Kosovo game in the National Basketball Arena. What an awesome experience. Such a great match, well deserved win. Made me very nostalgic for my old days playing school ball.

Designed some custom thank you paper and an envelope for a very special purpose, inspired by some birds I saw in Kenya. Think it turned out 🤌

I don't talk about it much, but I try to listen to a lot of new music*. As a result, I often share my playlists with friends because by the time you reach your 30s (and certainly by your 40s), I find that our tendency is to look backwards and stick with the music we loved in your 20s and (1/3)
