Sabrina did a great blogging masterclass the other day and her slides are online. I’ve certainly learned a lot from the slides alone. I shoulda been there, shoulda woulda…

Gilmore for Taoiseach, Bertie for President and Paisley for Pope
Thursday, December 4th, 2008The Obama kool aid is in effect in Labour too. How many times did Gilmore say change?
Anything less than Gilmore becoming Taoiseach (what are the Paddy Power odds?) will make their recent conference look like a complete farce. Check out all the Gilmore for Taoiseach Posters:
One further comment, how many people under 30 years of age are up on that stage? New Labour, old bones:
Oh and: Cringe. (Isn’t that the tune to Oh Christmas Tree?)

More Christmas gift ideas – Buy some Irish Art
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Eolai has an art sale on again. I bought two from him last time round and have ordered another two now. Buying someone an original piece of art is always fun. Prices start at $25 and go up to $95 and includes free delivery.
Also while we’re talking about Art, “Colours From the Heart” is a new exhibition from Anne Rigney. It opens tonight in The Front Lounge, Parliament Street, Dublin at 6:30
Green Party – Caption contest

Thursday, December 4th, 2008Ciaran Rooney has a new blog. Simple address too: Ciaran.ie yet the same crew took Adrian.ie off Mr. Weckler.
Via Una: Graham Linehan very pissed about a bad Irish Times “profile” of him. File under fiction it seems. He’s since toned down the post but this is how it originally opened:
There’s a profile of me in the Irish Times today, which would be flattering if the thing wasn’t such a load of shite. Conjecture, myth-making and truthiness posing as my life story.
And again Via the Rockser: Fionn Times has a blog.
Via Adam is news that Michael O’Toole, the Crime dude for the Irish Daily Star is blogging.
Matt Cooper has a blog. And he has videos of Maurice Pratt!
Via Christian, Cybercom are running the Vodafone Pass the Pressie campaign on Bebo. It’s a bit better than yer man with the loaves but no fishies since it’s genuinely interactive, not write a poem interactive.
Via Enda 8 hours battery life to this very cheap netbook.

Amazing design for a Blackberry welcome pack.

Go Adam Douglas!
Wednesday, December 3rd, 200819, from Fermoy and running for local elections with the Greens. Already in the press. Anyone younger running in the locals?
It’s good to see young people going into real politics and not the make believe world of the Youth Wings of these parties. I really do wish him the best of luck and I hope him and a good many more younger people get seats. I wonder is this one of the answers to Fergal’s post? No page yet on the Green Party site for him but at least he can use the Internet!
Christmas present ideas? Buy some books by Irish bloggers
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008Twenty Major’s first book.
Grab Kieran Murphy’s wonderful Ice Cream Book. Book of Sweet Things.
Declan Burke’s The Big O (I only half read my autographed copy before the bag it was in was nicked. Irony…) and also Eight-Ball Boogie.
Get the Mr. Amperduke Graphic Novel.
Get Paddy Brown’s The Ulster Cycle: Ness comic.
Any I’ve missed?
Update: Yup
Via a comment from Rosie Homepages the book. Available in the next few days. Book of stories/works from Irish Bloggers.
And another. Big D’oh!
Rowan’s essential book in today’s uncertain times: Where’s My Oasis?: The Essential Handbook for Everyone Wanting that Perfect Job
Not one that perhaps you should give your friends or siblings but still an Irish book by someone that blogs: Trying to Conceive: The Irish Couple’s Guide
