IBA Vid

For those of you who couldn’t make it down to Cork last Saturday, or those who simply weren’t interested, now you can view the part where I went on stage and asked could I take the Heineken that was part of the prize. :) I talk about the IBA so nonchalantly, people have felt the [...]

Meta-metablogging

Haha. The internet at Collison HQ has become increasingly bad. I don’t know if it’s the fault of our provider (digiweb) or something with our routers. Think it’s the latter, because when I’m in the kitchen or almost anywhere that isn’t my bedroom there’s no problems! Being Saturday, I should probably be getting out of [...]

Wahey it’s Friday!

Hehe. I love Fridays so much. For some reason this week has really flown by. For some reason, I only realised today was Friday as I was heading for Spanish. I was counting the times I had to set my iPhone alarm for 07:40, and I realised that I’d done it 5 times, which meant [...]

Picture of the Day

Haven’t done this for a while. Saw this in the paper today. The word ‘tweeting’ caught my attention, as did the caricature of the bird saying ‘tweet tweet’. Getting peed off at the iPhone’s bad quality. Missing the 2MP camera of my Nokia Actual, wordy, thought-provoking post comes later

The Chocolate Wars

I set up a new blog yesterday. Don’t worry! Trust Tommy isn’t going anywhere fast, it’s just that the whole chocolate thing me, Damien, Lexia, Alan, Livies and co. have got going was seemingly getting shown exclusively on TrustTommy, which I didn’t feel was right. Then again, I’m the only one here with a brother [...]

Wikipedia for iPhone

Wikipedia is known almost worldwide, known not only as a research tool but also as something you can happily waste 3 hours clicking away, jumping from article to article just reading through. XKCD had it perfect, in fact So, why limit your researching and time-wasting activities to when you have wifi? Good question. Well, thanks [...]

Irish Blog Awards Media Post

Slightly late, but better now then never. First up, my offering for the introductory videos for each category: My interview

Meeja

Borrowing the blogger’s term for the media today. I thought I should :-) Spin South West, a radio station based from Raheen in Limerick City and broadcasting to County Kerry, County Limerick, County Clare, North Tipperary and south-west County Laois, called me last night and asked if I’d be interested in doing an interview on [...]

Eircom Block Customers from Accessing Pirate Websites

The Business Post reported on how mobile giant Eircom plan on blocking file sharing/P2P (peer-to-peer)/music pirating websites in an attempt to put a stop to music piracy. The news was greeted by bloggers and folk alike with generally the same reaction: they were unhappy that their internet usage was being policed in such a fashion. [...]

Irish Blog Awards 2009

Sitting in the front seat of the car as we glide along the motorway at 55KM/h. I guess I should start writing that post on the awesome night that was last night, the Irish Blog Awards 2009, which were held in the Cork international airport hotel. I was announced as 2008′s best newcomer, which was [...]
