Say what you will about the inexorable onward march of the internet, the high availability of scans of blockbuster screenplays (and the improvements in Google et al.) is pretty great. MARK (V.O.) Perfect timing. Eduardo’s here and he’s going to have the key ingredient. MARK Wardo. EDUARDO You and Erica split up? MARK How did [...]
Really starting to like this.
As is often the case, I was hanging out with a bunch of friends on Cruises St. last Saturday. One of them turns slightly and says “there’s David Norris over there“. Francis is always matter-of-fact, including (but not limited to) matters of presidency. Norris was canvassing in Limerick for the day, and had just done [...]
This is the story of a funny incident that happened to me on the LUAS in Dublin back in August. I’ve been bogged down with 5th Year work and commissions stuff, so I’m only getting to the telling of this story now. Last August, I worked with the Sunday Business Post for two weeks. It [...]
Been messing around with scripts and everything. Should make footnotes easier on the blog. 1 Hat-tip to Marco for providing the sample code. This is a footnote!

This summer has been similar to the two before it in that I seem to have found myself working for most of it. Now, I don’t mind this at all. I love to keep busy, do new things and see the world, so it makes sense that lazy days at home wouldn’t be my cup [...]
Over the past couple of years, I’ve developed a bit of an interest in amateur photography and film-making. My parents are great for taking photos, so I guess that got passed down to me from them. I’m guessing my love of film-making stemmed from the amateur production of Jonathan Larson’s rock opera of RENT I [...]
