@kottke Paula and Bridgette Powers (or 'The Twinnies') have a bit of a history. They actually served as Cliff Young's support crew when he attempted a run around Australia. The twins were included in this recent episode of Australian Story looking back on Cliff Young and his famous run from Sydney to Melbourne at the age of 61. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-24/born-to-run-cliff-young-full-episode/105090300

@epilepticrabbit thank you for the spark in your latest newsletter with regards to lifelong learning. It led to this braindump https://readwriterespond.com/2025/02/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-lifelong-learning/
@dajb I totally agree, In Waves is an awesome album. I was really intrigued by Smith's discussion of the power of mistakes in making the album. https://collect.readwriterespond.com/in-waves-jamie-xx/
Nice to hear from you @epilepticrabbit. Although, I read your newsletter via Mastodon as it did not come through into my inbox? With the annual "I did xyz this year" cycle in full swing, I realised I read a lot of books this, but did not actually process a lot of it. I have therefore been left thinking whether it matters. I have also been thinking about sharing and remembering more, while at the same time wondering if in fact I actually need to forgot some things? https://collect.readwriterespond.com/fbt-on-hokums-and-heretics/

@epilepticrabbit yay, your newsletter came through this time!
@timklapdor @grantpotter @cogdog There are many things I miss as my work as ebbed and changed over the years, one is the connections and relationships.
I am reminded of a post I wrote ten years ago:
"Creating new connections is what ALL conferences should be about. Building relationships and expanding your PLN. This sense of people connecting with people, both digitally and online, is what makes them such a fantastic place to learn.”

@cogdog @johnjohnston I wonder if there is something that can be made from / out of the code associated with AntennaPod https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod
