There once was a man from Venus. Then he moved to Nantucket. Or was it Scunthorpe? Or maybe Nobber in whatever county that place is in. Anthony‘s blog is not based there.

If the Robots win we’ll have to listen to techno. Niall O’Keeffe will not allow this. He has even invested heavily in spandex gear to prevent this horrible awful future. Support Niall’s plan to stop robots like 6 from Battlestar luring innocent men into having the time of their lives.

Staying on the robot theme. Do androids really dream of electric sheep? Robert Synnott hasn’t answered. The shit. I mean they even turned the question into a book to get more attention so he’d have to answer. Stubborn isn’t he? He should, dontcha think? Join me and sign the petition. Feedburner feed. Delicious profile. Twitter profile.

Grandad makes me feel uncomfortable. He’s doing the opposite of Google really. Google don’t want you to say “I Googled for that” whereas this guy is reclaiming the generic word, the same way the gayers have reclaimed the word “homosexual” and made it sound all descriptive instead of the old version which meant happy and nice.

Yay, Twenty. Stay tuned to see more media deals being done with bloggers this year.

Ok, maybe it’s me, but I thought this piece on the Limerick Blogger was a piss-take. Who names a kid “Robin Money”, isn’t that a whacky DJ name, like Robin Banks?

Spaces available still at ShareIT Cork. All bloggers welcome!

Harry Potter leaves Bloggorah. Best of luck Larry!

Calling all Irish Video bloggers

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Anyone got a list? I have one from the Blog Awards but would really like to try and find more of the video bloggers from Ireland. If people can point me to folks on YouTube, I’d appreciate it.

Happy New Year Maryam

She knows what I mean. Was out with an Irish/Iranian friend today who was telling me about it.

May it just be the start – Twenty gets book deal

Well deserved.

She was fucking robbed. It was all a setup. Yer man that runs the Awards is Twenty’s brother like. Of course he was going to win. Shafted she was. The Swearing Lady, ladies and gentlemen. This brilliant woman deserves more attention and if any press people are reading, suggest her to your editors. Original talent is needed and she has it. This has been a party-political broadcast on behalf of Sweary.

Joe Johnson is staying sane while in Germany. He has done this by turning the heart-rendering lyrics of Haddaway into mathematical equations and writing basic maths books for school kids. This has rightly pissed off the other 4 publishers in this strangely enough not-so-niche market. But what is love? Feedburner feed. Twitter profile. LinkedIn profile.

Red Fly is the ointment for your SEO itchy bits. Let me try again. Red Fly at night, SEO delight. Red Fly makes you get found when Googled. So there, you know now.

Adam Maguire was not seen on the grassy knoll. The answer to his motivation is not in Catcher in the Rye. Check out his blog, just in case, you know… Also check out his fab Dail30 project where he hopes to interview every one of the “representatives of the people”.

Seriously now. You’re Microsoft. You want to get a blogger to check out Vista. If you are going to send it to a blogger, don’t send it to the guy who accused you of destroying Christmas. But if you do, make sure it works. Then make sure it works again, then once more and only then send it to him.

Petrol and matches.

The Flattening of Politics conference – May 18th, stateside. I want to go but I do have exams and there’s meant to be an election around then too. Damnit.

Via ICT Station is the IT Facts blog.

So many people just had babies or soon will. Might bulk buy this book.

Best one so far.

Nothing to do with Queen Elizabeth and her obsession for wardrobe accessories. Take flying your own plane. Take transgender and you get Hangar Queen. Yeah yeah, mile high jokes.

Staying with the flying theme. Nick Whittome flys naked. That’s what security has come to in this day and age. That’s been the plan from day one. Ok, I’m picturing what kind of searches will be returned for Nick’s name now. Oh dear. Anyways Nick is a Microsoft Small Business Server and Flight Simulator MVP.

Jochen Lillich is a lumberjack. He’s a lumberjack and he’s ok. He’s a lumberjack and he’s ok and he sleeps all night. This is his Twitter. This is his feedburner feed. He cuts down trees, skips and jumps, likes to press wild flowers.

Flirty something‘s blog. Men adore her. Women wish they had hair like that and in 1976 a crack commando unit escaped from a top security military prison to get her attention. Instead they got a TV deal.

I sometimes feel like this.

WTF. Mick points out this horribly placed disabled parking spot. Name and shame I say.

Free because of John Inman.

Euan Semple mentions Reboot 9.0. Anyone been? Looks quite interesting.

Thank you Newswire. A great Limerick blog is gone but at least the archives remain. Well done for a worthy and useful blog service.

Bye bye Ze Frank. Phil has a nice tribute post. Who’ll be our Ze Frank methadone? I just found Nick Douglas’s Videoblog via his Twitter. Nick used to ne the main guy behind Valleywag til management swooped in and pushed him out, though he seems to be back in a way again now. I like this clip of him talking about the Nick Douglas Valleywag persona compared to the real Nick Douglas.

What did the Poles ever do for us? Well, actually, this is an open invite for Irish people to give their views on the Poles.

Love this quote from Sliabh:

And I can tell you you I rarely see a man drinking on their own in a hotel bar. I only used do it in the days before high speed internet access in hotel rooms

How modern business people are changing.

Via TerSuperyacht Chef Niall Harbison was asked to do a video demo of one of his specialist dishes for some video production companies who are interested in possibly doing a show with him. Here’s the results. I think this is the one that tips me over the edge and gets me into the kitchen to try it myself. Now I’m hungry.
