Unhappy with low gain on a previous recording, I've turned off pre-processing and told my HoQ MP3 Android app to use both mics on my Samsung Note 9 when recording. I wonder if the episode description might push out as part of the syndicated audio served by Anchor. If you have suggestions, please DM me via http://twitter.com/topgold or email [email protected] -- thanks!

We had some adventures whe inboxing Christmas gifts. I learned I must do better when logging my Moleskine items. The family learned old tech like Chromecast works well with the new UHD TV. My daughter learned fake nails and greasy hands can hurt an iPhone's screen. And I am very satisfied with our new slow cooker, a too-sharp Wunsthof knife, and some entertaining induction lights. If you want to share your unboxing please hit me up http://twitter.com/topgold or via [email protected] and we can continue the conversation.

I made Christmas dinner for 10 people and half was uneaten. My Note 9 and Chromecast served more than 100 clips to the in-law's TV. Dylan (8) is deep into his Nintendo Switch and Mia (12) is happy with a free iPhone 8. I hope you have a happy holiday season.

Using a Sennheiser Memory Mic with Spreaker Studio.

I work with a lot of creative people on the Clonmel Digital Campus and know they have high autonomy needs. I've also figured out some of their best innovation is a collective result. My students need a little consideration from the Irish government so they might be able to earn more than 4500 euro a year without losing their education grant. Some of my students work behind the bar on weekends. Other students who are based in Dublin are baristas in the coffee culture of Ireland. Some analysts believe Irish coffee shops have reached a saturation point. Nearly all of the Sunday papers in Ireland covered the law suit Brenda Romera has launched against the University of Limerick, alleging UL damaged her reputation concerning her running (or not running) UL's Masters programme in game design. Another creative woman, Sinead Gleeson, has released a collection of essays called Constellations: Reflections from Life. I'm reading it at the moment and highly recommend it. You can see more about these topics by subscribing to Underway in Ireland or by reading my Underway.ie blog.
