1. Simplicity On a Nokia, how do you get to the settings? Well, you click menu, then click over to “settings”. On an iPhone, you simply poke “settings” with your finger. My mum may blog but she’s quite un-technical. One Christmas, Dad bought her an N70, surely an upgrade from her old Nokia 3510? Not [...]
So, this morning was another school day for me, despite it being Saturday. I set my alarm for 07:40 and got up and got ready. At 08:55 I arrived at UL’s reception. There was a security guard just leaving and I caught his arm to ask him how to get to the Kemmy Business Centre, [...]
Ugh. So, today, I brought in my laptop to help the head of the English department set up the ‘English Blog’, where students can submit their short stories, poems, articles and reviews. I even submitted an edited version of my review of the Irish Simpsons’ episode. Edited to remove the nerdiness! When we were finished [...]
As you may know, I was on TV yesterday, talking about blogging. I was on for a mere 3 minutes, which wasn’t as long as I would’ve liked, because I have a lot to say about blogging, and specifically why more people should be doing it. The internet is, according to my history teacher, the [...]
The RTE radio studio Time: 12:30 Alexia said I should make sure that I blog my RTE adventures when I get home tonight. Very good idea, but with 3 hours til my interview with ICE, why not start it now? So here I am, on one the comfy armchairs behind the main reception, wondering if [...]

Alexia has a good point about meetups these days. Pix.ie have a fantastic set of photos from St. Patrick’s Day According to IrishBlogs.ie, I made the list of Irish tweeters receiving tweet
Twitter’s great. I knew of people’s reaction to the new Simpsons episode in real time! Now, why should I care about this particular Simpsons episode? Because the Simpsons went to Ireland! Yup! The simpsons traveled to the Emerald Isle, also known as Potato Land, also known as the Land of Poetry, also known as the [...]
It’s not the restricted movement. Hey, can’t miss what you never had, and all that. Plus, I can’t ever see myself having played rugby or anything like that anyway, so I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything. It’s the social aspect. I remember, one of my strongest childhood memories, in fact, was the fact [...]
See, if this were a normal Monday, now, I’d be just finishing up Geography, and heading toward religion. Except it’s not, and I’m at home, so I’m happy. Anyway. On my way to CentreStage on Saturday, I read a fantastic article on Expad.ie, about the whole Twitter vs. Blogs scenario. This entire debate has been [...]
