OK kids. Struggling to stay on top of various different feeds so I’m going in on Threads for a while. I’ll be there if you need me.

Might come back here at some point, we’ll see.

Should you buy an iPad Air or an iPad Mini?

Despite the size differences, there’s more in common than you’d think.

Watched this over the weekend. Utterly beautiful and heartwarming stuff. Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Cheers buddy!

🎉 It’s my birthday today! 🎈

And apparently, I’ve been making videos on YouTube for just over 4 years too.

Anyway — since it’s my birthday, you legally have to watch my latest video about awesome MacBook accessories.

Yes, that’s how birthdays work. I don’t make the rules.

Yep. Thought mine had overheated but it’s done it repeatedly through the evening.

Mark Gilroy @thatmarkgilroy.bsky.social · May 13

It’s a hell of a set of bookings. I can’t wait!

Got yourself an iPad Mini 7? I’ve got a bunch of awesome accessories to show you! (and no, Paperlike is not one of them).

I got fed up overly complicated productivity systems so, erm…I invented my own.

It’s simple, easy to apply and no-nonsense.

Featuring @craft.do (though it will work with most note-taking apps)

I tried EVERY productivity system. This one works.

Good fact! I’ll go with that. Can a 2 inch difference be explained there?!?

Mark Gilroy @thatmarkgilroy.bsky.social · Apr 26

Had a full health check yesterday.

✅ to blood pressure
✅ to cholesterol
✅ to iron levels

The most surprising thing? I’m 2 inches shorter than I thought I was this whole time 😮

Anyhoo, I’m off to York Parkrun to try and see if it’ll make me any taller.

Finally got around to posting my thoughts on today's opening keynote from @danielhulme.bsky.social

It was truly mind-bending. He painted a vision of AI not just as a tool—but as a force that could reshape everything.

Love this quote!

@garycookson.bsky.social starting to wrap up talking about how hybrid working is the lens through which you can see what’s happening in the organisation.

Hybrid work reveals issues about your company culture in microscopic detail.

@garycookson.bsky.social talking about the importance of helping hybrid teams induct new team members. It’s about helping them feel that they belong and not look at the team from the outside.

“People need to know HOW TO WORK, not how to do their jobs.”

What tasks DO need to be done synchronously, and which ones can be adapted so that they can be done asynchronously? L&D can help figure this out, says @garycookson.bsky.social
