ASININE FATHER’S DAY POEM NO. 4

by Fenway Parker

ROSES are red
So is Pop’s nose
He’s asleep on the couch
wearing Mom’s clothes

Matt Stone’s memo to the MPAA about the South Park Movie. Hilarious.

What’s a god helmet? Science invents a new way to trip using magnets. I just love the following line, though it hasn’t much to do with the core bit of the article:

this is the great British sport of “moron baiting”

10 booming cities for Tech in the US. Where are the areas in Ireland, outside of Dublin?

Great footballing blunders.

Daragh McGrath is doing a cool thing for charity. He’s building homes for those that can’t afford them. He’s looking for help.

Is it the best goal only because there hasn’t been great football so far?

UCC Student’s Union Communications Officer Kris Mcelhinney left a comment on my blog recently and mentioned that UCC now has blogs for any student that wants one. The new student email system has a blog option so that when you log in to your mail you can enable your blog.

With something like 15,000 students, that’s a potentially very large influx come October to the Irish Blog O’Sphere. Can IrishBlogs.ie and Planet.Journals.ie handle it?

University College Cork (University of the year again) has a strong tradition of web innovation. It was the first Irish College to have a website, which was also 9th in the world and also as I mentioned before UCC Interactive TV has audio and video podcasts of lectures and special events.

I asked Kris would there be any censorship of these blogs if they are critical of UCC or any faculties, he responded:

just as a student must follow rules with regard the sending emails from their student account it is expected that they will follow the same rules of good practise in their use of these new facilities.

I’d love to see every university encourage blogging and even give classes on it. It’s a very good way of learning how to communicate and improve your writing skills and with universities meant to be hotbeds of research and new thinking it might be a great way of sharing knowledge with a worldwide audience.

Billboard: Saying “like” makes you sound dumb. Or maybe Ross O’Caroll-Kelly and his peeps who say “loike”,

Nuff said.

Back Thursday. Won’t be blogging while away despite broadband being available in the hotel.
