iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

When I recently completed my education MS specialising in andragogy, the main takeaway was to give students the most efficient path to their goal. On one hand I can empathise but on the other hand it convinced me that I probably wouldn’t even last one year as a tertiary teacher in today’s society.

When I was a TAFE teacher in the mid 2000s, the percentage of students actually wanting to learn and be engaged was anecdotally much higher than it appears to be now. It was more than just one or two students per class. I know it’s been trending away for years, but I am still so exasperated about it

I remember when I completed my pentesting class in my degree a couple of years back, with a high exam score. I was asked by peers how I achieved that and I told them that I studied all of the material making sure to learn it all, and then tried out almost every tool mentioned. Crickets in response.

this article is behind a paywall (I read on Apple News) but it honestly made me cry. This shit makes me feel so lonely just for caring about knowledge, curiosity, and deep work / learning.

it was Pedla this time (picking up club kit) but a while ago I had to talk my way into getting the guy at MAAP to treat me a little more warmly. Mentioned I was about to do the GVBR and was picking up last minute thermals for it. He then thawed out a bit. Their gear is fab so agreed a shame.

THIS. Like they can barely bring themselves to interact. yeah female staff are still hit and miss for me but generally better for sure. And they’re much more likely to say gm back when we encounter each other on the road

why are male cyclists / store staff so awkward to deal with why am I always in these hobbies where this happens each time

Ok I feel better knowing it’s not just me thanks

I do think it’s the same for me! I wear earplugs a lot as well as it helps keep my energy being worn down too early

I bought a Snacket this week (fucking excited to put my killer pythons in it next ride) and they sent me NeoPro Xmas socks as a surprise???????!!!! Guess I’ll be festive this month on the bike

A silicon snack pocket for cycling jerseys alongside a pair of Christmas themed cycling socks, a cycling safety sticker, and a granola bar

why is having someone doing work on my roof (even if very minor) so unnerving to me. It’s 100% the noise made but I have no idea why it spikes my stress levels so much

walked into an okonomiyaki restaurant thinking it would just be an express kinda serving situation from a kitchen, but no they’re cooking for just me at my table and I feel terrible about it

I made it back before the cut-off 😇 the best views and gorgeous weather. Windows XP wallpaper scenes everywhere

Woah good work 😮 That sounds incredible and definitely out of my reach for a while yet! Tomorrow is more like 1km bites of 9% here and there with some rather steep descents as well. Plenty for a beginner like me to struggle with but I can always take mini breaks!
