earthsite.org, the “Official Site of International Earth Day” places it on March 20, 2006. On the “Spring/Vernal Equinox” the <title/> says. Which sort of snubs half the Earth. They also insist that EARTH DAY IS NOT APRIL 22. Then earthday.net says it’s on April 22.
What day should Zoë and I take off our clothing and run naked in the park?
Just got this from IrelandOffline:
The Pat Kenny show today on Radio 1 had a representative of eircom
on-air taking questions about broadband from Pat’s listeners. The show
appeared to be snowed under with callers and emailers but Pat Kenny
had eircom commit to investigating all their issues and to get back to
Pat with answers.
We suggest that you email the problems you had getting broadband to
todaypk@rte.ie (please send a copy to info@irelandOffline.org too) and
Pat’s team will compile them into a file and send them to eircom.
Please include some contact details. In a months time we suggest you
come back to us and Pat Kenny and let us know whether anything has
been done to fix your problems getting broadband.
We’d also like to thank everyone that’s sent in a submission to the
Minister in regards to broadband availability. The closing date for
submissions is tomorrow and if you have not sent in something yet,
then we suggest you do, even if it is just a few short lines. The
Minister and the Government need to understand that there is a large
proportion of the population that are in need of broadband and cannot
get it instead of them doing their best to blame lack of interest as
the reason for the digital divide.

Forgive me for making a sports reference, but being in an area where we like the Phildelphia sports teams, tomorrow gold medal match between Sweden and Soumi have the Flyers primary forward attacking the Flyers best goalie. Provided I am able to get up by 8AM, it is all Flyers. Go Sweden!
The Irish blogosphere is slowly growing, and it’s a close knit bunch. First, there’s the Irish Blog Awards coming up. And then Damien suggested that people take a peek at some of the Irish photoblogs that are out there. I did so (cause Damien’s, well, Damien), and found this from

OMG, Ikea is lodging a planning permission file with Fingal County Council today to build their (hopefully) new store in Ballymun. That’s on the other side of Dublin….I CANT WAIT!!!!
My boss is gone for Maternity Leave, for six weeks or so. Anybody have any suggestions about how I can abuse what limited power I have temporarily gained?
I could have sworn I wrote a post here about Grey Matters, the blog of the writers of Grey’s Anatomy. Freaking brilliant show. Last Sunday’s episode (or whatever day it airs in teh US) was downloaded overnight and we just watched it here. The beauty of the shower, the intimacy, the ‘this is how real women take care of each other’. I know I was ready to bawl, and more than a few friends of mine have said the same thing. That freaking show deserves an Emmy JUST for the ep.

And yes. It’s fresh bao.
Bono on U2’s five Grammy Award wins last night:
“If you think this is going to go to our head, it’s too late.”
The Feburary 5th strip of Opus states that cough syrup does not work. To quote UPI quoting somebody:
“There is no clinical evidence that over-the-counter cough expectorants or suppressants actually relieve cough,” said Richard S. Irwin, M.D., of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
And
The new guidelines recommend against the use of over-the-counter cough and cold medications for children age 14 years and younger.
Google this to find more sources. My Dad always says that it takes a week to cure with the medicine, seven days without.
The same days strip of User Friendly says Western Union telegrams are no more, and Wester Union site confirms it. While I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a telegram, it’s still the end of a telecommunications era.
