Someone just suggested I do music reviews, because I’m forever listening to music (any time I’m on the computer, for instance) and ‘probably go through 10 albums a day’ Not only do I not go through anywhere near that amount of music, I know I could never review most of it here. Why? Well, the [...]
Alan Costello was interviewed for the paipéar today about teens using technologies like Twitter and Facebook and all the usual suspects, which got me thinking (yes Dad, I know what thinking does to me) about the digitalization of our world. Are @replies and Wall posts replacing face to face communication? It’s a wee bit ironic [...]
Why does cycling rock more than, say, walking or jogging? Cycling rocks purely because you cover more ground. Yesterday, myself and Dad went for a cycle around the back roads of nowhere. A nice round trip by Abbington and Barringtonsbridge for an hour and a quarter. But what’s the appeal of cycling?

Video games have pretty much always been embroiled in all sorts of controversy about what they’re encouraging our kids to do. Specifically, the Grand Theft Auto series have come under a lot of controversy for all sorts of reasons.

I’m afraid I’m becoming hypocritical. Everyone (especially after the Times) now knows my cane has a name, Aislinn. That’s fine. It’s a very pretty name and if naming it makes me feel better about having to use it then that’s what I shall do. I did it with my old walking sticks, when I used [...]
I’m thankful for something today. Something big. My Sunday Times piece reminded me that I still have no idea what I want to do once I wrap up secondary school and college. Yes, I do have some vague notions, but nothing concrete. So, what exactly are you thankful for? Like every kid (don’t deny it, [...]
