July 8th, 2006Thye Came So Far For Beauty – Leonard Choen Tribute in Dublin Oct 4th
July 7th, 2006Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton, Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons fame, and Gavin Friday will all cover Leonard Cohen songs at this show. Got my two tickets from Ticketmaster this morning. Cost me €152 for two tickets but I got good seats front and centre.
Funniest Youtube vid to date – Richard Simmons
July 6th, 2006I posted a link to a video of this years back but now you can watch it from the comfort of my site. Richard Simmons being the human prop on who’s line is it anyway? This may hurt those with a funny bone.
The origins of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy
July 6th, 2006Via Music for kids who can’t read good. It seems that Crazy heavily samples a song called “Nel Cimitero Di Tucson” from a Spaghetti Western called Preparati la bara. Original song on same page here.
And now Crazy as performed on Conan.
A whole lotta love
July 5th, 2006Going to bed right now and as I do Robert Plant is singing “A whole lotta love” down around the corner from the house. Nice.
Wiki dude wants to get Net Democracy noticed
July 5th, 2006One hallmark of the blog and wiki world is that we do not wait for permission before making things happen. If something needs to be done, we do it. Well, campaigns need to sit up and take notice of the Internet, take notice of bloggers, take notice of wikis, and engage with us in a constructive way.
The candidates who will win elections in the future will be the candidates who build genuinely participative campaigns by generating and expanding genuine communities of engaged citizens.
Sonic boomed – Amanda moves on
July 5th, 2006Amanda Congdon is no longer part of RocketBoom. Jason Calacanis has already made an offer.
Scoble, Dave Winer and Om cover this too. Ze Frank’s value has probably just gone way up while Amanda and Rocketboom each try and find replacements for each other.

July 4th, 2006The Broadband Choices/Prices in Ireland post has been updated and new prices and products added. When a little more information is available about the new Vodafone 3G package comes out, I’ll update the pricing/products/choices post.
When the going gets fluff – Fluffy links 3rd July 2006
July 3rd, 2006Ralph Depping’s blog. He’s an old college mate. He’ll be a dad soon and I bet he’ll not blog for another year after the kid arrives. Oh and he has a dolphin on his petrol cap. Not a real one though.
9th February 2004. Get the vomit bucket.
We left the camp after we had innoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every innoculated arm. There they were in a pile… A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried… I wept like some grandmother
Here’s an idea about blogs for politicians. Don’t forget Suzy’s suggestion.
Data Retention Conference – July 19th
July 3rd, 2006DRI mentions a Data Retention Conference in Dublin on July 19th. Tickets are twice as expensive as a Pearl Jam ticket or half price if you get said ticket off EBay. To be clear, a ticket for this conference is €150 and €50 for students which I am again. Alas I have no holiday days left to take this year. Try and go. Hopefully the speakers notes will all be put online.
