Apple Adverts

I’m telling you, Apple has some great music taste.

Usage

If you sleep on it; sit on it; type on it or use it for more than two hours a day, you should get a high-quality, comfortable one, to the best of your ability and budget. I say this with regard to quality-of-life, referring to: Beds Mobile phones Chairs Laptops Backpacks Headphones Shoes Keyboards Anything [...]

A Quick Note on Permalinking

Recently, a lot of my posts have been linking to other articles, quoting bits and commenting on them. The TSA Insanity article is an example of such a recent post. How posts like those work:

Chat Lists

Jared Nadin • White Christmas

I really like this: He’s a wonderfully talented performer and great guy in real life :) Okay, I’ll stop gushing — if I don’t see you guys this side of the 25th, Happy Holidays, folks!

A strong set of leads being complimented by an equally powerful ensemble made [...]

Possible Extensions to Find My Friends

I talked abut Find My Friends recently and thought about two more points to do with it in the interim.   One of the new features in the iOS 5 Reminders application is a feature to remind you of a to-do when you leave or arrive a certain location (home, work, etc.). It’s pretty cool. I [...]

Rain

I went into town on both Saturday and Sunday and it was raining quite heavily on both days. I made a run for a bus during a break in the downpour and managed to snap this picture on O’Connell’s Street:
