Advertising

No, I’m not getting Google Ads put in — they’re awful. Advertising has always interested me. While I never considered a career in advertising to be the one that I’d choose, I still love it and think it’s a very cool area to be in. The picture is of an ad for the iPod Mini, [...]

Pancake Recipe

Last year, pancakes were kinda ‘my thing’. It was what I was known for. I was the ‘pancake tsar’ who ‘ruled with an iron ladle’ Since it’s pancake Tuesday (already? seriously, time flies) I think it’d be apt to show you how I make pancakes. You will need: – 2 eggs – 110 grams of [...]

New = Interesting

I’ve always been a fiercely inquisitive person, which is totally something which has gotten me into trouble with people before. It seems to grate with them — something I don’t get. What’s seemingly considered cute in children becomes a ‘very annoying trait’ awfully quickly. What’s wrong with wondering? Something, apparently. I went to Boston in [...]

V-Day

There is no getting around the fact that it’s an odd concept. I’m not going to get bogged down in phrases like ‘consumerist frenzies’ or the like, but I don’t think you could say that it’s stayed particularly true to its roots. Before I go any further, I’d just like to say that I’m not [...]

Knee

Since Saturday night last, I’ve been dealing with very bad knee pain — the worst in several years of pain. We had a meeting with the physio and a surgeon on Wednesday morning who told us that since we’d exhausted other methods of relief (painkillers, ice, electronic stimulation), we should try cortisone injections into the [...]

Body Scanners Suffer Sickening Blow

Messing with Time and Space

As you do, right? Taken in France in 2009. If you’re wondering what I’m staring so intently at.. I can only equate the light show to… I tried to catch up with the blue box but it got away :(

Technology’s great, Ted

Yesterday, I stayed at home because I was feeling crappy. I was kept company by Rick O’Shea’s dulcet tones coming from my phone. No, he didn’t call me — I was availing of 2FM’s radio app. From my phone — yeah. Anywhere in Ireland I have mobile signal I can now listen to pretty much [...]

Break in regular transmission

Apologies for the break in posts recently — server issues were experienced left, right and yes, even centre too. However, I’m back now so it’s all back to normal. …Or, at least as normal as one can expect ’round these here parts.

New Yorker problem

I was at home last night, reading my New Yorker, when this fell out from between the pages: You’re meant to fill it out, and just stick it in the postbox. Am I the only one who sees the problem therein? Obviously, since you’re writing your credit card details on it, you should put it [...]
