Meeja

Borrowing the blogger’s term for the media today. I thought I should :-) Spin South West, a radio station based from Raheen in Limerick City and broadcasting to County Kerry, County Limerick, County Clare, North Tipperary and south-west County Laois, called me last night and asked if I’d be interested in doing an interview on [...]

Irish Blog Awards 2009

Sitting in the front seat of the car as we glide along the motorway at 55KM/h. I guess I should start writing that post on the awesome night that was last night, the Irish Blog Awards 2009, which were held in the Cork international airport hotel. I was announced as 2008′s best newcomer, which was [...]

Skycon

Yesterday, I popped down to Skycon down in UL’s computer society yesterday (after going to reception and not being able to locate it). Met with Livies and also with Kla and Lexia. Chatted for a while and then went in to see Randall Munroe, of XKCD fame, give his keynote. I caught the last bit [...]

Me and iPhone

Gosh, this is like one of those sordid love affairs that my Mum would watch in one of her soaps! This on-off-on-off relationship storyline is usually kept to Fair City or Corrie.

Twas the Night before iPhone…

So, you probably don’t know, but I decided to repair my iPhone last Sunday, as I’m in Dublin tomorrow, Friday, getting new AFOs (foot orthotics, look somewhat similar to the two on the left) in Tallagh Hospital with Dad. When Damien broke his iPhone, he went to FM Mobiles in Camden Street and they fixed [...]

RickRoll students

Read on Rick’s (O’Shea, not Astley) blog about a lecturer of classical literature who has started quoting Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley (more commonly known as the RickRoll song) in each of his classes. As he says.. The project is simple: I’m a lecturer in liberal arts teaching adults literature on a [...]
