Google Maps offer a glimpse into the past of Cork, but to really dive into the past try Yahoo Maps. That building in the marked circle is the old An Post Sorting Office on Eglinton Street. It was demolished at least 2 years ago, and was probably gone long before then. Does anyone remember when? [...]
My 7 month old son, Adam watched this video after breakfast and barely moved his eyes from the screen. I think he’s a Daft Punk fan. Cool. Via Scott Oh yeah, very tough job. Holding up the bar? Takes a lot of skill! All Creatures Great and Small – come on now, you watched it, [...]
(via AJ) Stunning photo of the Eiffel Tower. How to photograph a rainbow. Some of the images are a bit over saturated but still nice. B&W adjustment layers and blending ideas. Photoshop specific but they’re applicable to the GIMP too. I’d love to see the GIMP support adjustment layers. Scott’s legendary station wagon desert safari. [...]
Oh yeah baby! Bon Jovi are playing live at the Punchestown Racecourse on Saturday 7th June, 2008! I can’t wait! I’m so going there! Thank you MCD for spamming me! Bloody idiots.

To express your disapproval, send an email to FARTOOMUCHBERTIE@gmail.com and you’ll be sent a “Far too much Bertie” sticker. 200,000 stickers have been printed so there are plenty to go around! Via [...]
Nob Nation or Gift Grub? Which is better? I prefer Gift Grub but I haven’t heard it in ages because of a change in our radio listening habits in the morning due to an early rising baby and slightly frazzled parents.. Anyway, Nob Nation is available as a podcast you can subscribe to, which is [...]
Richard Hammond founded a new motor sport for last week’s Top Gear. Motorhome Racing! The rules are quite strict, it’s a no contact race, and the aim of the race is to be able to drive home afterwards. Pity the other drivers didn’t know the rules .. I was going to blog the review of [...]
