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!

There were some lovely nice people in Dublin city center today, who decided to riot. Love that, since we didn’t remember about it til we were there. We showed up *after* the majority of the hell, but while waiting to pick up a computer part in Maplin’s, either a small bomb or a firework went off down the road from the store.

Regardless, Flickr already has photos of the incident today.

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 Rymus that I love. Gimme some flowing water and some green stuff in it, and I will sit and look at it for *hours*. Then I saw that Caitriona has a bunch of pics from the Dun Laoghaire Sunday Market down the road from us. Gave me warm fuzzies.

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!!!!

Apparently a new OS X vulnerability has been found. Fine. Great to know.

But if you’re going to have a link to your test, for OSX users, you might not want to type “left-click” on the page. Um…MOST OSX people don’t ‘left-click’.

First it was evangelists, and now President Bush too is spewing verbal vomit that sounds a lot like my verbal vomit when you get me going. While I don’t see much money where there mouth is yet, it’s simply shocking that when I read a report about these people and I agree! It feels, some how, dirty. They must have an evil agenda.

From my point of view Conservatives have been trying to conservative the world all the way back to feudalism where they reign. Well, I would much rather be reigned upon in an environmentally clean world then what I envisioned before. Why reign in a world where caviar producing sturgeon are extinct, and slave girls are muntants I guess.

Is it beyond cool that someone has hacked an iPod so that it can accept the Myanmar Language, and display in it? I think it’s great, and people like this should be rewarded.

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?

Dad has an article in today’s San Diego Union Tribune. It’s about geomythology: how myths may have some truth in geological terms (like Atlantis). It’s really interesting reading, but I like the part where Dad says “Five years ago, I couldn’t do this without destroying my career.”
