Ooh, Jim is on form today!! 🤣🤣 #DigiBlogChat

On the general subject of surrealism, or perhaps contrary to the subject, it's seem so often that: "fact is stranger than fiction". Things actually happen which most people would not believe if presented, for example, as a story. Where does that leave surrealism? 🤔 #DigiBlogChat

On the subject of "surreal", how about the cereal brand?: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal... #DigiBlogChat

But with you now, #DigiBlogChat!

Great photos, @beththephotog.bsky.social ! And we do miss you at #DigiBlogChat

Between prompts, we’d like to announce next week’s topic: Surreal Chat!! (Salvador Dali’s 122nd birthday is May 11th) #DigiBlogChat

And then, #DigiBlogChat, there's this "poor old planet": youtube.com/shorts/v-BVD...

As often happens, I've probably missed the last few/couple of #DigiBlogChat questions! Nevertheless, thank you all, especially @carolstephen.bsky.social and @lazblazter.bsky.social, but also all who sail in her, for yet another excellent chat!

A7 #DigiBlogChat YouTube!

"The Mooch", @scaramucci.bsky.social, on "The Rest is Politics US" with @kattybkay.bsky.social and his own "Open Book". #DigiBlogChat

A4 #DigiBlogChat All the time!

A3 #DigiBlogChat Oh ... well, despite having a scientific background, I don't listen to (m)any science-based podcasts.

A2 #DigiBlogChat I haven't counted the time, but it must be several hours per week, probably more than 5, maybe as much as 10 some weeks (although some of that is other YouTube channels and not actual podcasts).

A1 #DigiBlogChat Definitely watching and listening ...on YouTube.

We are starting right now - 12:00 noon PT - please join us, today’s topic is Favorite Podcasts! #DigiBlogChat

Evenin' all! #DigiBlogChat

Thank YOU, Carol for #DigiBlogChat!

A7 #DigiBlogChat Yes, those, and some experimentation/engagement/practice!

A9 #DigiBlogChat Probably that I'm nerdier than I'm given credit for! 🫣🤣

A6 #DigiBlogChat One is probably more confused. But, then, everyone has their limits.

A5 #DigiBlogChat If it is important at all, then, probably similar to being important to know something about how a car or an aeroplane (/airplane in USA) works.

A4 #DigiBlogChat The "benefit" of being asked questions that I cannot answer ... like how to diagnose what's wrong with a printer!

A3 #DigiBlogChat At risk of ... A counter example: observing two guys with email addresses on the same domain, trying to move their email hosting to different providers and tearing their hair out with technical support people. I was at a safe distance and thought it better not to get involved!! 🤦‍♂️

A2 #DigiBlogChat Just to be more tech savvy than the person who is considering you!! Like the guy putting on his running shoes in the jungle, not to outrun a lion!

A1 #DigiBlogChat Generally, digital literacy means, to me, te level of fluency in operating "mainstream"(whatever that means!) digital facilities with everyday purposes.

We are starting right now - 12:00 noon PT - please join us, today’s topic is Digital Literacy! #DigiBlogChat

As UK participants in #DigiBlogChat know, the UK weather has been very sunny and spring-like recently! How is it with you?

If the discussion about Starmer, Robbins, and Mandelson is only about vetting concerns which were not related to Epstein, when is anyone going to ask and tell what actually went wrong?

🤦🙄🤣 #DigBlogChat

Goodnight, Dragons! You are awesome, as always! #DigiBlogChat

For next week, let's talk about gardening tips, hints, what not to do, etc. Deal? #DigiBlogChat

A10 #DigiBlogChat 🤷‍♂️🤣

I'll be missing in action during the #DigiBlogChat discussion about avatars, but as a teaser far in advance, tech sovereignty with LazBlazter and Carol Stephen#DigiBlogChatgoes live on April 27.

A5. I used NanoBanana, a Google product, to create my Studio Ghibli avatar. It “cost” 20 credits (that’s all you get at first). Login through your Google account. It was super easy. #DigiBlogChat

A3 #DigiBlogChat I can fairly easily find one, although I won't promisee that it's recent!! Are we going to do this live?

A1 #DigiBlogChat (My problem with this topic is that I known nothing about it. 🤣) I don't know and haven't really given it any thought! I suppose people use avatars (if they are what I think they are) for fun, and/or maybe to accentuate (or hide?!) certain characteristic features. 🤷‍♂️

Hello #DigiBlogChat! JWL here, organizational innovation guy in SW UK. Sorry to be late on parade!

Recommending an early peek at the prompts.... #DigiBlogChat

True innovation changes behavior—not just format. A new channel is distribution; impact is what matters. jimkatzaman.substack... #MondayBlogs #DigiBlogChat featuring John W Lewis Carol Stephen

Thank you, Jim, for yet another excellent write-up of a #DigiBlogChat, the weekly chat on Tuesdays at noon US Pacific time led by Carol Stephen. This one, on March 24th, was about "Innovation in Marketing" ... which, interestingly, Peter Drucker identified as the only two basic business functions.

It'll soon be 8pm Eastern time, when we can be really worried! #DigiBlogChat

A10 A whole book of them! www.amazon.com/Healthy-Habi... #DigiBlogChat

A9 #DigiBlogChat More exercise would help.

Between questions, we’d like to announce next week’s topic: Avatar Refresh! #DigiBlogChat

A8 #DigiBlogChat By telling it not to be so negative!

A6 #DigiBlogChat Think less? 😴

Hi Chris (@chris-rl.bsky.social) #DigiBlogChat

A3 #DigiBlogChat Apart from getting older, I can't immediately think of any. 🤷‍♂️

A2 #DigiBlogChat Oooh, not too good. On a scale of 0 to 10, probably only about 2-3.

A1 #DigiBlogChat Most things except vegetables!!
