We watched a video workshop from our charter school, one on “Growth Mindset”, which presented three points on installing a growth mindset into the child unit:

  1. Recognize your mindset: fixed versus growth
  2. Praise the process: the journey is the point
  3. Model learning from failure: see maiki scratches - #60 by maiki

Last month I was walking down Grand Avenue, and in a rare moment of illumination and no traffic I was able to see the wonderful mural there:

You can see it’s epic. It’s is beneath the MacAurthur Highway, near where the farmer’s market is found at Splashpad Park (I don’t think many folks know that’s the name of that park).

I’m very familiar with this mural, having stared at it up close for years. But that is always in the dark tunnel of an overpass during the day. This was a totally new experience! :slight_smile:

I can connect my Bluetooth headset to my switch! That’s new, and welcome.

I’m really embracing my bluetooth headphones now. To the point where I put them on, wait for them to tell me they’ve connected to something, and double-tap them to start playing music.

It works, because my default mode is to listen to my entire library on random, and each of my devices have the same music on them… wizard.

Wow, I had to write that to see that I’ve made a personal cloud music streaming system without external connections required for operation… double wizard!

The simplest way to send a message through time is to honor your past and forgive your future.

If you hone this skill, you can even do it in public. :slight_smile:

We should have more games with run-off voting, so folks are acclimated to it.

:bulb:

Wow, dynamic SVG is dope: Szilassi polyhedron 3D model

Read the source, it includes the Python to generate that image. Linked from Toroidal polyhedron - Wikipedia (@tim, could be a spaceship design! :crazy_face:).

“Fog computing”

I’ve been describing a network as my “personal cloud”, but that isn’t true to how I perceive the metaphor of “cloud computing”. What I’m doing, with my various hardware devices connected by a personal network and free software stack, isn’t a “cloud”, it’s more like, “fog”.

A cloud is heavy, looming, bellowing. It travels, and is ever distant. From where I’m standing, that isn’t my personal metaphor.

Fog is immediate and dense. It touches me, while also taking the shape of the world around it. That is important for my personal metaphor, because my fog computing is used to both represent and interact with the world around me, having it take the shape of the space between me and the world is by design (as far as metaphors go).

Have you ever played in the fog? It’s neat, and eerie, and a kind of wonder. So are the artifacts I surround myself with and connect to each other. Fog computing.

“Frog computing”

Frog computing is probably something @susanmagnolia would be into.

A post was split to a new topic: Zone Wireless Plus setup guide(s)

A “bag of infinite holding space” is practically useless.

An “Ivory Tower” would be gruesome and fascinating.

My “demons” have “demons”.

I hardly ever have the thought occur to me: “I wish someone would tell me what to think about this.”

I’m too in love with being curious to have such a thought.

But lately, when I’m… experiencing thoughts about my friends I’ve lost, that very sentiment arises. It all gets so complicated so fast, even my curiosity can’t shield me from the mountain of sadness that awaits in that direction.

As I calm I reduce my wish: “I wish I knew how to navigate this event”

And I catch a glimpse of something in the world that will help me understand, at least as much as anyone could help another understand. I may need to be more flexible to obtain this knowledge, as the way forward seems treacherous… I may need to listen to someone tell me what to think.

Maybe my curiosity helps me a lot more than I think.

I hate the Vimeo dashboard. It tries to emulate a native video editing experience, all these windows in windows, and none of them load quickly. It adds delays into each step of the process, of which there are many…

Dang…

  • New minimum WP version required: WordPress 5.5+ (previously: WP 4.5+)

That means Pods doesn’t work with ClassicPress any longer. :frowning_face:

From Field Guide to Pods 2.8 - Pods Framework.

  • New minimum version required: WordPress 5.5+ (previously: WP 4.5+) — Going forward we will support the last two major WP releases on each major release of Pods.

I’m happy for the project! That means it will be more up to date, and that is a good position for Pods!

I just personally had a ClassicPress project coming up where I wanted to use Pods. :crazy_face:
