Home again Home again Jiggity jig!

I haseth returned! I’m back from a very enjoyable foray into the country to visit cousins. Got home this morning at about 8:30AM to find the house alive, almost. John’s still asleep and probably will be for most of the day. Mis padres are wide awake as per usual.You might have found out via Twitter [...]

Aw, wudja look at the kitty cat :)

What a cute cat I has a happy!

Just got the OST

So, I’m a self confessed 007 fanatic and also tech geek. These things can combine together to form me downloading the new Quantum of Solace soundtrack At 83.3 MBs, it’s not going to break the proverbial bank. Even with John’s attempts to download every film ever made (or so I see) we’re still only about [...]

Thoughts on Trust Tommy being selfhosted

So, I -Trust Tommy- has been self hosted about a week now, it’s been great and definitely one decision I haven’t looked back on. There’s a visible sense of professionalism when you give out the address as .com rather than .blogspot. Having a domain separates the serious bloggers from those jumping on the blogging bandwagon.* [...]

Irish Web Awards Mixup

So, in The Wild Onion, on the High Street in Limerick, as I waited for my breakfast, I grabbed the nearest paper to me and began leafing through it. I saw the article pictured and did a double take. A real, actual double take. What’s this? Something about the Irish Web Awards in the Leader?? [...]

Times have changed

Oh God They Have Right, so, Scrabble is meant to a fun family activity. No, not in the Collison household. Here, it’s a vicious game where one must better another. We played a teams game, myself and John against Mom and Dad. As I dubbed, “antique vs. modern” Also, what does it say about a [...]

Epic Happiness

So, those who follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I’m now on mid term break, and this makes me happy Today’s been a fantastic day. Not only is it the first day of midterm, but I’m getting through so many things I need to get through. Current book is “The Boy In The Striped Pyjames” [...]

Being bored on YouTube

I don’t know all that much about ovens, or Elton John, but I guess the man is fairly deserving of recognition after what you’re about to see. Has anyone ever sung about your oven manual? Pianos reminded me of this video from one of the greatest comedian/pianists Bill Bailey. From his DVD show in…2004 I [...]

Pundit Kitchen

So, we’re all familiar with lolcats and it’s (?, again. Is it it’s or its?) spinoff hot dog, but the lesser known spin off is Pundit Kitchen As lolcats deal with sticking captions of varying amounts of humour to pictures of cats, and HotDog the same with dogs, PK does it with pictures of the [...]

Your too late for some peace n’ love

Back on October 13th, former Beatle drummer Ringo Starr issued a ‘serious message’ through a video on his site, saying that he was just ‘too busy’ for signing autographs and anything after the 20th of October would be thrown out. Seems a wee bit silly to me. I mean, I understand it’s his own choice [...]
