Bubbles!

Forever blowing bubbles
"Forever blowing bubbles"

I had great fun at SPWC Dublin this weekend, so much so I’m still trying to gather together all my thoughts for a proper blog post on the event. Phil made the trip down with his kick-ass camera & got very snap happy (to the tune of over 1600 photos it seems).

Bubbles were a huge hit with kids of all ages (me included) but they are difficult little feckers to capture on camera. He’s managed to capture some here pretty awesomely (if I may say so myself)! Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics from the weekend, plenty great stuff on pix.ie whetting the appetite.

What a week…

I’ve had a fantastic week that starts and ends with the Street Performance World Championships. I’m volunteering at the Dublin leg this weekend so hopefully see you around Merrion Square at some stage – no doubt it’s going to be as much if not more fun than Cork!

Monday was a trip to the Olympia to see DCU Drama Soc’s production of Rent. I had never seen the musical before & I was gobsmacked by the performance of the guys n gals on stage. A really tough production to pull off & they did a fab job of it. It’s running till Saturday.

Tuesday was a trip to the Transformers 2 premiere with the Culch.ie gang. There’s a whole mixture of reviews and reactions over there to it! I loved the first one which it doesn’t live up to, but then again what sequel does? Boo factor: long, scattered & possibly weak plot, some dodgy humour. Win factor: CGI is beautiful, loads of machine action and again, it looks amazing.

During the days, I was working on some exciting web projects at X Comms some of which will be going live next week all going well – whoop! Will post links when they’re up and away.

I went to a talk about M.E. (or CFS if you’re so inclined) and learned a heck of a lot about something I was pretty ignorant to. Had forgotten how complicated the human body is to boot :)

My mum passed all her college exams, my little sister got herself a summer job & my dad is back to being himself after a nasty bug. I’m loving hanging out with this crazy mofo and having a fantastic time with my brand new friendĀ Toro :)

It’s awesome to be alive :)

O2 iPhone 3GS website fail

New iPhone on O2.ie

Couldn’t resist posting this booboo that’s currently sailing on www.o2.ie. Just another blip in one of THE most blip-riddled sites in the world. Ever. I’m surprised there wasn’t another Javascript-tastic window overlay piece of nuisance to greet me when I hit the site this morning trumpeting how I won’t be able to get my mits on an iPhone 3GS as an existing customer for another age. </minirant>
