kick.ie is a site like digg.com but for Irish news and sites.
They linked to my photoblog which is how I became aware of it.
Tim O’Reilly’s attack on IT@Cork for using the term “Web 2.0” as their conference name is shocking. They have a trademark on the phrase “Web 2.0” so be careful about labeling your website or blog posts!

Getting someone to decide
Creating Passionate Users has another interesting article: Getting someone to decide. I just love the comment about the wise man and the kids banging the drums!
RSS Overload
The thing about being away is that stuff collects.. My bloglines aggregator is now chock a block with feeds containing 20 or more posts. A few sites such as /. and el register have hit the max of 200. I shall probably do the equivalent of mark all as read for many of them. I already did that several times in Thunderbird!
Life’s too short..
Mainstream attention for Cork Bloggers
Damien Mulley says that several Cork Bloggers were profiled in the Sunday Business Post last weekend. Included among them was this little blog!
Does anyone have a copy of that sbpost they don’t want? I read Damien’s post around 23:30 on Sunday night and didn’t get a chance to buy my own.
Weather? It's scorchio in Lanzarote!
Writing here from a very hot Lanzarote! We’ll be back in Ireland on Saturday but it’s been a blast! Dining out every night, relaxing, seeing the sights such as El Golfo, Cuevo De Los Verde and more..
Wait ´til you see the photos next week!
WordPress Love on the beach
OK, so maybe I had something to do with this picture, but I had to counter the bebo message with one of my own!
Rage on the road
“Who’s calling me now, must be one of the lads about tonight. No Gardai around, answer phone. Damn bend, must slow down… There they are in that garage! I better stop the car in the middle of the road and shout at them! What the f*ck! The guy behind me blowing his horn at me? F*cker, who does he think he is?”
I’m sure that’s what was going through the mind of the driver in front me who braked suddenly and stopped in the middle of the road to shout abuse at his friends in another car. Lovely.
The Rising, by Langerland
Even if you’re not Irish or don’t know anything about Irish history you’ll still probably find The Rising funny. It’s a short animation featuring the main players of the 1916 Rising as members of the R Team as they battle today’s politicians and institutions!
Warning, sense of humour required. I bet someone will ring Joe Duffy’s show to complain about this over the next few days!
Nettle Tea
Imagine someone grows a cash crop of nettles.
I listened to one podcast
I listened to one podcast, no, maybe two podcasts in their entirety. One promised a keyword for a competition to win a camera or some prize, and the other was Mark and Ciaran’s Nightsight, a videocast which I enjoyed despite not mentioning Web 2.0 anywhere! Maybe that was a good thing, considering the objective of the movie..
In a similar vein, all the videos on blogs thanks to youtube are great! Even though Pomme and Kelly were among the most popular bloggers on WordPress.com for the past few weeks I only saw their version of Respect this morning. They are the very first Google Idols apparently. They’re a little mad aren’t they? 🙂
