By admin | Published: March 2, 2010

There are a lot of good deals on the scrappage scheme, but I’m definitely more of a bangernomics advocate.

Future of journalism – it’s not just about the business model

By admin | Published: January 31, 2010

Just read the transcript of this lecture given last week by the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, about the future of journalism.

It’s quite long, but hugely interesting for all the examples he gives of how journalism can become even better in the digital world, but not in the ways you might expect. In other words, it’s not just about the business model.

The Seafarer – a captioned performance

By admin | Published: January 22, 2010

Looking forward to the next of my occasional visits to the theatre, when we’ll be attending the captioned performance of Conor McPherson’s ‘The Seafarer’ at the Abbey on Jan 30th.

If it were not for the fact that the Abbey facilitates captioned performances, (thanks to the good work of AdiArts), I simply wouldn’t be able to follow it.

Wrote a piece about attending my first such captioned theatre performance here, although you’ll need a subscription to the Irish Times archive.

Tinnitus awareness week coming up

By admin | Published: January 22, 2010

Someone was asking me about tinnitus today and I had forgotten about this article I wrote last year for the Irish Times. Might be useful for those not familiar with it. Tinnitus awareness week, which is being organised by the Irish Tinnitus Association, is running from Feb 8th to 14th.
