There’s an app called Tixoom where events can provide tickets for online-only events. I went to their website and couldn’t find a way to search events. When I contacted their help desk, they said there is no way to search for events. This could have been so awesome for folks like me. Ah well. The only thing I can find that lets me search events is EventBrite. I’ve had a few people speak to me disdainfully for using EventBrite. They told me there are other ways to find online events. I’d like to know what those ways are, because I can’t find such a wide variety of advertised events anywhere else. #events #OnlineClasses #OnlineCourses #OnlineWorkshops #SearchFunctionaity #ShutIns #accessibility #apps #eventbrite

Today, two people in the field, whose judgement I take very seriously, told me that I am too far ahead of my time for our region with my workshop ideas. Over the turn of the year, I'm going to give serious thought to completely digitising that too. I'm too old to wait for the time to reach me. I better take time for the world. I laugh now but it's hard.

I graduated with two BS degrees but never took a Philosophy course. I decided to correct that and found a free Philosophy 101 course through MIT and edX. You can opt to pay them money and have someone actually read and grade your multiple choice and essay answers, but I enjoy just stretching my brain a bit at no cost. Here's the link in case you are interested:
