Art, media, opinion and ideas
Now, I don't know about you, but I don't know anything the young folk are up to. They could be planning a total overthrow of the over 30s, and the first I'd hear of it would be the rat-a-tat of ageist gunfire raking the doorway of Renards. Or, in my case, my local library.
Copernicus, of the thoughtful Midnight Court quotes Senator Geraldine Feeney's statement regarding Michael Neary. I'll repeat some of those quotes here. All of them are worth reading.
There follows a few things I wanted to let readers know, but couldn't think of enough to say about to warrant a full post. 1) Bernard, of Running with Bulls, has set up a T-Shirt shop. All the proceeds of his clothy wares are being donated to Digital Rights Ireland.
Om nomb. That's the noise my brain makes when it sees superlative food being discussed. I like reading the likes of Jeffrey Steingarten to prompt that kind of noise.
We're running backward through the episodes in Hugh's Adventures. Though it is the third episode I've put up in this way, this is Episode Two, a sunny summer holiday back garden romp called Caveman Hugh.

Never mind all that law drivel. Go immediately to Fustar and read part one of his three part interview with Eugene Lambert of Wanderly Wagon fame. He's one of the creators of the Ireland you live in now.
Kiesha Poiro has a new piece on Tuppenceworth. It is an open letter to Michael Stipe, who has sorted out all her life's problems in a single song. And assisted her in buying a pretzel.
Irish Seal It isn't often you're thinking about podcasting and stumble on a reference to your own grandfather. But that's what happened today when I was bumped towards Richard Develan's site to listen to his trial "Saturday View"-style podcast, Sunday Brunch. I'd listened to it, and thought it a little too slow, a little too safe and not focused enough on Ireland, but not a bad start.
Hello all,A cheery change from grumbling about the Four Courts broke through last week when Tuppenceworth, at close to no notice, had its first get together in real life. Special thanks to Fergal, Mary, Emma and their friends for turning up and making sure that I didn't stare out the window in the Library Bar all by myself.
Last time, I posted the link to my script for an animated hardboiled, Raymond Chandler-style detective story, aimed at children- Hugh PI. This time, I decided to push the boat out and go for a full sized Biblical Epic. Hugh Exodus is now available through a Creative Commons licence.
