Took a drive with Mum and Chris yesterday.
Somewhere north of the city.

RIP @debbiemet

February 12th, 2010

I spoke to Debbie Metrustry, known as @debbiemet on Twitter on many occasions, although I hadn’t met her, she was a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to know her. I’ve never felt this way about someone I’ve not met before.
One of the saddest pages on the internet right now is http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40debbiemet, as the [...]


Google Gets Social — Well They’re Trying

February 10th, 2010

Yahoo! Buzz was released in August 2008, but where was the hype and fuss surrounding it’s launch? Yahoo, according to Hitwise statistics (as of week ending 06/02/2010) is the biggest webmail provider, followed by Hotmail and Gmail.

You are on a diet, doesn’t mean you cannot peruse the menu.
You are alone, doesn’t mean you are lonely
It is Sunday, [...]


Google Superbowl XLIV Ad

February 8th, 2010

I barely know what the Super Bowl is, other than the most hyped sporting event in the US calendar. However, it isn’t the game that many people are concerned with, its the commercials – with around 50 being aired during the game.
The idea that the Super Bowl is full of “crass commercialization, exuberant prices, [...]


Belfast4Haiti – A Success

February 1st, 2010

It was all go yesterday, as Belfast did a fantastic job of raising a hell of a lot of money for Haiti.
The campaign which started less than 3 weeks ago, and on Twitter if I remember correctly, by Aaron and Anto, massively surpassed the original £20,000 target.
A 5km fun run took place yesterday morning, [...]
