Have fun with this Steve Ballmer dress-up game – can you get Steve ready to go trick-or-treating?
After the government’s partial U-turn on the changes to the learner driver rules, I was interested to see an article on breakingnews.ie today. Apparently around 2,400 learner drivers were taken to court so far in 2007 for driving while unaccompanied, and around 4,400 for the same offence in 2006. With all the bullshit excuses being thrown up [...]
In one of my previous residences, we had what I considered to be the most unusual answering machine message ever. People would regularly call the house to sell us something, hear the message and then call back a few mins later with all their colleagues listening in (yes, we did screen our calls a [...]
About effing time! The Road Safety Authority announced that new rules will come into force for learner drivers from midnight on Monday 29th October.

Existing provisional licences will continue in force until [...]
Sick of all your friends squashing those links with TinyURL? Get revenge with HugeURL, because as we know, bigger is better – right? Got a girlfriend that’s down in the dumps – how about some Happy Pills? Mess with your mind with this corner house illusion. Convert any picture of yours to ASCII text.

then you should love “Long Way Down” with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, starting on BBC2 at 9pm on Sun 28th October. And even better than that, I’m finally escaping the house tonight as the lovely Maryrose has invited me to join her AND meet Charley Boorman who is publicising the new series in Ron Blacks [...]
Will you be carving pumpkins this year? George & I did last year (although his idea of doing his with a Dremel was not a good idea!) and we had great fun at it. In case you feel like it, here’s a few ideas to get you inspired! from Peter Kaminski from Brett L from cameradawktor from oravino from pandaposse from Operators [...]
David Letterman, wearing a suit of 3400 Alka Seltzers is dipped into a tank of water – what must the studio have smelt like? Was this the origin of the Diet Coke and Mentos idea? Now what happens if you put Alka-Seltzer into water when you’re in zero gravity? The answer is a couple of [...]

Do you Tweet or Jaiku? Live in or around the Dublin area? Fancy a nice evening of wine, vibrant conversation and phones vibrating constantly? Then the Dublin TweetUp is for you! Ripped blatantly from Alexia: We’d love to meet you. We’re altogether a great bunch, just to be modest. You don’t have to be a geek to Tweetup, [...]
I was at the inaugural PodCamp Ireland in Kilkenny on Saturday, which proved to be a really fun day. As it was shortly after the honeymoon and I was still tired AND I don’t podcast, I was simply planning on turning up as the driver for my mother, Grannymar, I had no plans to talk or [...]
