I've been having a #WePonder about @notebooklm.bsky.social
The podcast voices feature is brilliant, but I'd love to pick the accent? 🎧 listening to Scottish voices talking about Robert Burns would be incredible. Anyone else thinking about voice + identity in #AI? #WeePonder #AIinEducation

My sister’s been digging through the loft again… and look what she found – my dad’s old Western Systems laptop. Check out that software version – pure ‘80s gold. 💾✨
Makes you wonder what ideas, or secret projects might still be hiding behind those keys 🤔
