2008-05-27 11:57:00 What Belfast lacks, the Oh Yeah Music Centre hopes to inject with full force. After various drunken discussions, big ideas were turned into reality in the form of the Oh Yeah Project, which seeks to address the imbalance of talent versus facilities that had previously existed in Belfast. The vast talent to come from Northern Ireland ...

belfast flickr meetup 25th may 2008
2008-05-26 11:14:00 It was a great weekend. Mostly spent chilling out, listening to music, watching Pushing Daisies, which I really don’t like and must stop watching immediately, watching terrible movies including this one along with a very moderate amount of alcohol. Saturday afternoon though, was the Belfast Flickr Meetup at the Continental Market at the City Hall, with ... More About: 2008

dublin photowalk
2008-05-23 20:41:00 Last Sunday began quite hazy, with the initially irritating, but soon quite relaxing, and reassuring, sound of the DART outside the window. It was a beautiful morning, set to be a great day. I quickly left the hostel and scurried around the streets hunting for an ATM, Red Bull and somewhere to have breakfast. After ... More About: Dublin

2008-04-25 11:30:00 It’s been a while since I went to a club and drank many alcoholic beverages into the early hours of the morning. Having had a taste of just that the other night, not so much in the alcohol consumption but in the atmosphere and drink consumed by the free spirits all around me - including ...

2008-04-17 11:45:00 It was like putting on a pair of glasses for the first time. I don’t wear glasses, so it was like putting on a pair of glasses when my eyesight is 20:20 and seeing everything totally distorted - only in reverse. In a good way. A new lens. I got a nice pretty new lens. The ... More About: Twenty
mac impressions
2008-04-15 01:24:00 So as you probably know, I recently made the transition from Windows to MacOSX. Having only used friends’ Macs, very infrequently and only first in late 2007, I managed to be convinced that ‘mac-is-best’ fairly quickly. Having used Windows for all these years (im going with since I was 8, so at least 14 years), ... More About: Impressions

mac anticipation part 3 - hardware
2008-03-21 18:28:00 The majority of my hardware concerns stem from the fact that it is a laptop - which is not the fault of Apple Inc. I have mostly disliked laptops in general for a few reasons, but now I find that having a laptop will prove much more beneficial. The keyboards are difficult to get used ...

northern irish music on tv - imeall geal
2008-02-07 10:18:00 I wouldn’t normally be one to be too negative about things that try to bring arts, culture and music of Northern Ireland to the forefront of traditional media, such as television, but sometimes it just doesn’t work.
