In no particular order…
Scanning my Twitterfeed this morning, it seems that this week is “one of those weeks” for quite a few, myself included. To that I say take a breather and watch this. Hopefully it will lift your spirits if not get your toe tapping for a bit 
Doing some researching and reading for work today I stumbled on some very old school websites in need of a facelift to say the least. Particularly surprised by the government ones. Retro has an ugly side.
Now where did I leave my infomration super-highway ticket?
I heard this in the background earlier in a restaurant. It’s insanely beautiful.
So tonight is Princess Bride night – watch and chat about the movie at Screencheck at Spy from 7 with yummy cupcakes, wine and cocktails on the cheap. Nom. The liveblog is all set to go here and if you’re partaking in the discussion via Twitter the hashtag is #asyouwish
I popped in briefly to the launch of the Dublin Fringe Festival 09 last evening – my was it a lively event! Still sifting through the packed programme of events to see what I might get to see but first impressions are awesome. Check the site for all the info you need and keep an eye on culch.ie for extra nuggets.
Autumn is creeping upon us ever gradually and with it comes the usual flux of awards events for the design world. While it’s a little quieter this year with the IIA Net Visionaries moved to the month of May as of this year, there’s still plenty opportunity to try your hand at getting something tasty for over the fireplace. The IDI Awards and Irish Web Awards are accepting nominations till the end of the month. The Golden unmentionables are taking place also and still charging ridiculous amounts for seats at the awards ceremony (€300 per head) and a saucy €150 per nomination. Stick with either of the previous I think.
