“The noisiest paper, without doubt, was the News of the World, which resounded with three continuous notes. The first and most defensible was sport … Then, there were television performers … Last and most cacophonous, there was the assumption, or the ardent hope, that somebody, somewhere, was having sex with somebody he should not be [...]
Photos here are photos of my everyday life here in Minnesota, with some Instagram effects. Click for bigger. There’s been a lot of talk over the newest addition to the photo sharing iPhone App — both good and bad (Robert Scoble has been pretty vocal, singing songs of praise to the little app). Instagram is [...]
I read a very interesting article from the BBC about so-called Spyclists – worth checking out! In the summer of 1937, when tension was rife in Europe, when satellite photographs weren’t invented yet and in a time when Ordinance Survey (OS) Maps were hard to come by, English country lanes were full of foreigners cycling their [...]
Despite agreeing with some of the points he makes about religion, I’ve never liked Richard Dawkins. Not only does he force his beliefs on others, he does in such an annoyingly smug manner that I don’t see why or how anyone stands him. Why am I blogging this interview? Well it seems to be an [...]
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, [...]

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 :(
I enjoy almost all aspects of the second-level English course. Media studies, journal entries, fiction, you name it, I’ll enjoy it. Except poetry. For the most part, I enjoy reading poetry. I just don’t enjoy studying it. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of these teenage angst posts about how ‘the Irish secondary school system is [...]
In the olden days, when you ordered a pizza, you ate it and that was that. So why, in 2009, is this any different? It is for me, anyway. Did I miss the changeover? because when I order pizza now, there seems to be a rigmarole associated with that I go through each time. There’s [...]
Today, we bought a smoothie maker, and much hilarity ensued. Here is how to make one, Collison style: Frozen fruit, only 2€ per packet from Dunnes Stores. Why struggle with fresh fruit when you’re going to be eating it cold anyway? Next, natural yoghurt. That squiggle on my hand was testing whether a pen works. [...]
