Little Bit of Tipp

How I started microblogging

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 09:56:50 +0000

So I’ve been learning how to microblog. It is kinda easy once you know what to use.

First, I downloaded the Micro.blog app on my iPhone and started posting little updates. Then I tried something different and made a podcast with an app called Spreaker. It’s called Little Bit of Tipp. I even listened to it on Spotify, which was pretty cool because it sounded like a real show.

After that, I made a video on my iPad and uploaded it to my Micro.blog. It took a few tries, but I got there.

I also used the Spreaker app to record my ideas. If you want to hear that go to Spotify and search for the Little Bit of Tipp podcast.

Here’s the part I’m most pleased with. I wrote all my notes by hand in my notebook, then took a photo of the page and asked Claude to summarise it. Instead of typing everything out again, I just copied the summary and turned it into this blog post. That saved me loads of time.

The whole thing started with a pen, some paper and a phone, and now I’ve got a blog, a podcast and a video.

You can check out my stuff at gobackdylan.micro.blog. Soon it’ll have its own proper web address too: LittleBitofTipp.ie.

Oh! And my dad was watching so thanks Dad!

What I learned with grandparents using AI

(Spoiler: Grandparents Win)

So I helped teach some older people how to use AI on their phones, and honestly? It was way more fun than I expected.

At first, everyone was super nervous. After just a little bit, though, they were doing things on their phones all by themselves.

The “AI just with phones” sessions helped the learners get way better at using their phones. They felt more independent as they got more confident, and that was the best part to watch.

Turns out tech isn’t just for people my age. With a little patience, anyone can learn it.

On Irish Rail in Tipperary

I was on a train from Clonmel to Dublin and looked out the window to show a little bit of Tipp as we were on our way. I used my iPad Mini. Next time I will try to avoid the glare on the windows.

Heading to Dublin

Today I am going to Dublin where I will see a Media Literacy Ireland Awards Ceremony. I hope the Tipperary Age-Friendly Literacy Programme wins.

I’m going to make a short audio clip about what I’m doing for my Little Bit of Tipp Podcast. It is hosted on Spreaker and you ca get it on Spotify.

Thanks Virgin Media

I had an amazing day in Virgin Media. Gareth O’Connor took me around the main studio. I met several people who I watch on our television at home.

Thanks a million, Virgin Media!

Making a website

Hi. My name is Dylan, and I will make a website today. It will be a microblog for Little Bit of Tipp. I will go to Dublin tomorrow and on first class on the train. It probably will be really fun, and we be going to Virgin Media with Gareth O’Connor.

I am talking to my Otter and it is making these words for my website. So this is me talking and my phone makes the words happen.

Hello World

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:57:01 +0000

Hi! I’m Dylan Goldbach from Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland. I’m starting a blog like my dad did 30 years ago when he lived in County Wicklow. I’m tying to record some ideas on my iPhone and and then correct the transcript that my phone creates. Most of the time those transcripts will appear as blog post on my website.

A lot of people are talking about AI. I think this is a great way to use AI. Just let your phone listen to you talk and then read what you said before you tidy up things. I am also figuring out how to take podcasts appear on this microblog from the audio I make with the Spreaker app. And I also have a playlist on YouTube about my interviews from the past three years.

I should have my blog set up so all you have to do is look for Little Bit of Tipp on Google and you will find it here.

This is just the first step.
