visitors

My first Dublin based visitors were Frances, Mike and Faye! Great to see you guys and chill out in the front yard in the sun, watch Faye and Nathan (neighbour) play, watch mike on the trampoline.. Great day and a real treat to see the lads :) Here are a couple of photos I got, I hope the lads don’t mind me putting them up here as well as my flickr site.  I think Mike had as much (if not more) fun than the little ones on the trampoline!

Hot Fuzz

when you see l-r; Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy and Steve Coogan in the same scene at the beginning of the film and all dressed as ‘police officers’, you know you won’t be disappointed.. Pegg and Frost join forces again in Hot Fuzz – wonderful start to finish with a fantastic cast like Timothy Dalton, Bill Bailey and Jim Broadbent. It’s also worthy noting how fabulously gory the whole thing is too…Mmmmm

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

see that image at the top of my blog? I feel I haven’t given it justice by explaining it…

That is a section of a photo I took whilst trekking in China with my very good friend (still!) Jane. We went on a rough trek up jade dragon snow moutain. One of the nights we stayed in this lovely lovely hostel (pic below courtesy of Lloyd & Lynelle). I opened the window of our room and that was the view that greeted me. Superb.

So today, I came across the story of the mountain and thought to myself, I should really record this for myself in years to come..so i can look back on my blog and remember!

Here’s the full picture of the view from our bedroom and also the hostel.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lijiang, China halfwayhouse21.jpg

Once upon a time, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain were twins. They had lived on panning in Golden Sand River until one day an evil fiend usurped the river. The brothers were very brave and had a fierce fight with the fiend, Haba died in the fight and Jade Dragon drove off the fiend after wearing out 13 swords. For guarding the people and preventing the return of the fiend, Jade Dragon held the 13 swords in hands day and night. As time passed, the brothers had turned into the two snow mountains, and the 13 swords had become the 13 peaks. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a holy mountain for the local Naxi people not only because of the legend, but also because long time ago, it was a place for young lovers to sacrifice their young lives in honor of true love and to escape from the arranged marriages and feudal ethics.

is this waterfords first iphone?

Paul Watson posted today about the iphone he has in his hot little hand…. check it out here

He seems happy so far (early days). I had a quick look and the graphics are great, the controls are easy, typing an email is great with some cool sound effects!  its heavier than it looks, but very smooth!  I want one of course….but Pauls birthday is way before mine or even xmas..

Colin and Amber

raise a glass and tip your hats to 6 years husband and wife.

Well done you two.

Future of the Web

interesting article on Read/WriteWeb yesterday by Richard MacManus.

“Davide Casaleggio sent a tip to Read/WriteWeb about a video his company produced exploring the future of media……”

good video and some interesting comments.

When I sent the link onto paul, he came back with this: Museum of Media History 2014 – you probably know it better as EPIC 2014

enjoy.
