It's the beginning of a new era, as a hobby turns into a business, turns into a scalable joint venture. One of the biggest challenges with wool has been to pair innovation with scale, and with this I think we're a big step closer.

You may know that in my spare time I 'play' with wool, and plants, and machines. I guess this is what happens. #innovation #fieldaysNZ #finalist

@MrZachG I refuse to do icebreakers. I will however do a meaningful interactive activity that draws on peoples past experiences and getd thememotionally hooked on the course.

I can’t figure out which part of education’s obsession with icebreakers is worse: that we waste PD time on it, that they are recycled and everyone has already done them all before, or how every principal ends with, “now go off and waste the time of the students with this, too.”

@jillian_rigert They've done studies which show people who change careers quickly return to pre change salary level. Its been years since i read that so dont have the ref tho sorry. It just struck me and I have always remembered it.

I'm leaning in to an overdue desire to go back to residency for a very intentional career transition and applying next year - If all goes well, I'll be over 40 when I graduate. Still going to do it, but that reality hit me hard. Anyone been there to relate?

Have you pledged for Liz Mitchelles fundraiser to create a wool innovation hub? Ends today so hurry up! Its hard starting a wool startup - having a place to go to try things out would prompt a lot more innovation. pledgeme.co.nz/projects/7671-…

Hey @nzherald @NZStuff did you see @kayleebellmusic just won at the CMA Awards! Best global country artist! Woohoo! Am loving the NZ country music scene.

Except its so busy that its not working...

ChatGPT was just the beginning. It's only been 14 hours since OpenAI released their new product GPTs And people are already generating insane results. Here are 10 of my favorite examples...

@AuntThistledown Oof i had that when I was pregnant and it was terrifying. The after effects lasted for ages too.

@drjudymelinek I'm so sorry you have to experience this. I do hope you have good professional support available. Will pm you.

Looks like @Articulate have got into the generative AI big time with an AI assistant able to create a Rise course from a pdf and other documents. Objectives, course outlines, image assistance, quiz generation. Will look forward to testing from a learning design point of view.

Alexa, Siri and the other bots hanging out in the server break room again

@AdamMGrant @TEDTalks @lizandmollie I do not know how Americans survive with only 2 weeks holiday. We have 4 weeks minimum in NZ. France gets 5. Good employers often add a week. And you can cash out one week if you prefer (in NZ).

Long vacations rarely cure burnout. They usually bring temporary relief. The frequency of time off from work matters more than the duration. 2 separate week-long vacations are more restorative than a 2-week trip. Regular breaks are vital to well-being. tedtalks.social/WLAdam

@m_herbert There is a guy on LinkedIn who does soilless farming in Africa.

Less than a week since OpenAI started rolling out ChatGPT vision. And people have been busy executing god-like tasks. 35 truly mind-boggling examples: (29th is my favorite)

@pathoftitans My son is still having issues. Are you sure this has been fixed?

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes… At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh.. It was comfy, it was quiet In hindsight, too good to last…

@whaeavee That makes it harder. She might have to invest in some airtags.

@StaceyGray11 This drives me nuts.
