Got this ad on facebook recently. Greece is trying to woo back Greeks living abroad with jobs that exist in Greece (😂LOL).  I ain't gonna lie.  I would be tempted to move if the right job came along, but I seriously doubt they can match salaries. Some video ads I've seen tend to focus on the way of life as a perk of being in Greece, but no one mentions how difficult it is to get actual work completed when dealing with public offices, banks, and other "little" every day things that impact your quality of life. I don't even know if the internet and other infrastructure elements are at a level needed for people moving back and being digital nomads. 

 While I technically received my degree last September, the actual convocation day for Athabasca is today for all graduates who completed their degrees between June 2021 and May 2022. The ceremony is virtual and I am curious to see how it will be implemented.  I am certainly taking notes for my own work ;-)

AU sent us a care package with various festive items, some physical goods (cap, tassel, streamers, etc.), and some virtual (eg., a curated spotify list). There is also a dedicated website with a convocation digital toolkit. The toolkit includes zoom backgrounds, social media banners, profile photos, Instagram story templates, etc.  Nice idea! My personal favorite is the design your own mortarboard Instagram template. I don't have much time today to play with it, but I guess it's something I'll play with tomorrow ;-). Interesting side note: At UMB convocation is used when we all come back together in September, while commencement is used for graduation.  AU uses convocation for graduation. I wonder if this is a Canadian English vs. American English distinction.

I am trying to catch up to Google I/O 2022 announcements in small drips today.  I came across this reboot of Google Glass which seems pretty interesting.  Yes, there are privacy issues (similar, or greater than Google Home), but this is an interesting concept.  Would love to see more AR futures.

I found this on my feed on Facebook and found it amusing ;-)  In attempting to amplify stuff less over on that site, I decided to post it here. Back when my VW Beetle had a tape deck, I had seen iPod adaptors that converted the audio using a tape casing that had no magnetic tape in it.  I wonder if this is what Laserbeak had on the show ;-)
