This is the article I wanted to write about Cork and Cork people for years. Kathy Foley saved me the bother. Great great article. I don’t read the Sunday Times anymore because it is no longer online. I won’t buy half a tree just to read Kathy and a few more people.
Fraudband. What a great term.
Wow. Nice bit of dosh there for the IIA. Though not massive.
Google takes a few shots at Michael Moore’s new film in order to sell more ads. They suggest running ad campaigns to counter any searches for the movie on Google.
EI lends their support to Paddy’s Valley.
Another fantastic TED talk on poverty and the third world.
I still miss Ze Frank. Here’s an old post from 43 Folders about how Ze stays creative.
Majesty Snowbird. Again.

[…] Kathy Foley is right on the ball with her article, You’re all just jealous of Cork from last weekend’s Sunday Times!

Had I heard the one about the Cork mother who says, “My son, the solicitor, is drowningâ€? Yes, very good. It gets funnier every time. […]
Lyons posts on EI’s eBusiness Discussion all the time, she’s a pain in the hole. Even more opinionated than the rest of them; how hard can that be?
Great to see EI offering support of PaddysValley. They’re a good agency in general, although they can be hit and miss.
Are there any estimates for that yet? I’d love to go, but I can’t see myself being able to afford it.

Fraudband.org. Repo Man reference, yay!
[…] Donncha and Damien insist that you’re all just jealous… of Cork. I’m not. I’m quite happy to live and work in Dundalk (and to be moderating the North East forum and its new county sub-forums [fora?] on boards.ie)! […]
