With the Irish Blog Awards getting closer I have been thinking about what I want to achieve by attending. I mean, I’m not going to win anything this year? So what better time than now to clarify why I even blog in the first place. As mentioned before I started blogging out of a love [...]

I kinda fucked that up. I tried re-wording it a few times, eventually posting it still thinking it wasn’t quite clear enough. But it turns out all that didn’t matter. I didn’t even link to the correct post! Paul Browne’s Feedburner giveaway sounded like a great idea. Nice and easy too, right? All I had [...]

Wrapped in a beautiful brown envelope when I arrived home this evening was my copy of the Observer Music Monthly and Observer Music Magazine. But even better than that two sheets of money off vouchers for the Guardian and Observer. Two whole weeks of the Guardian for 30p (60p off on Sat) and 90p off [...]

Having spent the last 2 weeks trying to find the best reasonably priced VoIP/Skype phone, I finally ordered one.I think it was about 2 years ago that I heard about Skype and immediately thought wow even if I did live my with parents and didn’t call people very often. Two years later, I no longer [...]

I just noticed that Charlie Brooker’s great Mac Hating article has the very ads that he hates at the top side of the page. I had never noticed this because I use Firefox’s Adblock plugin, but Gavin pointed it out and so I got a nice little screenshot of it. I do think the ads [...]
