Right now I should be on the train making my way from Belfast to Cork for Barcamp tomorrow.. The most unfortunate thing is that I won’t get into the City until after 10pm, so it doesn’t look like I’ll get any Noodles, but instead hope there is wi-fi in the hotel and catch up with [...]

Taken in the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in 2006 while visiting with my parents, this is the inside of a shop filled with old antiques and other trinkets of the past.

I have never done a numbered list before (as far as I remember), and now two in one week… it isn’t something I plan on making too much of a habit of. Peter Donegan suggested that we make a list of ten things that make us happy today to “cheers this country up.” So I [...]

New Rule: If it’s not done by 11pm it doesn’t get done.
