@libraryofmistakes.bsky.social Have you got a copy of this yet?

I was recently speaking to a small local charity who said
'a large company has selected us as their charity of the year! The prize: some interns from the company will build us a CRM!'

This made me tap the sign 👇

Why the warning? 🧵

A smidge of a moon and a couple of rooks - not bad for 8:14 in the evening!

The calm before the storm… Contemplating the grid of goodness at a fab unconference on public participation, data and AI. So many great conversations! Wonderfully hosted by @connectedbydata.org

Heading to London for the @connectedbydata.org AI Unconference tomorrow. It’s a lovely day for a train ride south!

Actually a morning cycle rather than a #MorningWalk but very beautiful in #Porty

Edinburgh’s seaside (Portobello) was pretty lovely this morning too

A beachy start to the day. Just a short walk but always worthwhile

I made my son a cardboard computer and the first thing he did was set up a zoom meeting 😂

‘Peppa, you’re on mute!’

Ever wanted to LOL-evate your laptop?

Rather amusing concept laptop from MWC. I'm thinking this on a train would be pretty odd!

#FiveYearsOn

There was a lot of this
1. Folk quickly realising that events were a bad idea
2. Last few folk working from a very empty office
3. Small flats with rambunctious toddlers
4. Tiny desk made from sawn up bookshelves

A lovely (but grey) day for a tramp round the Pentlands

A nice sunny stroll before starting work this morning - blue skies on the beach but enjoyed the shadows too

I'm doing a wee talk on 'why bother with digital' next week and have attempted to follow in the footsteps of @tomski.com @jukes.ie and many others by attempting a definition of digital. It's super hard to write a short one! What do you think?

We're really looking forward to hearing from @njchowdrey.bsky.social and Valeriia Voschevska in our free DigiShift Q&A call next week!

Details and booking here: scvo.scot/events-train...

Gordon Brown with a powerful call to arms on how we can and should tackle rising child poverty and some fab anecdotes about hope and generosity

Best seat on the early bus to The Gathering - looking forward to a great couple of days connecting with folk and sharing ideas from across the Scottish voluntary sector
