The late post
I’ve fallen behind slightly with my writing, or perhaps more than slightly. It has been a busy few weeks and I haven’t had the same free time, between filmmaking and filming events (event, in truth). I should also add that I have just passed 10,000 views! Gratuitous Violence The newest short film we produced last…

Post-intervarsities
Last week’s was a very brief post, on the precipice of the 2013 intervarsity fencing competition. That was a long weekend, particularly because Limerick is so damn far away, and required over 6 hours of bus travel. At least there was WiFi, so there was something stopping me going completely insane. Long bus journeys are…

Valentine’s, and Limerick
It was Valentine’s day on Thursday past, and though love was in the air, it also carries some less than positive connotations.

I’m glad I came up from Altnagelvin on Thursday night, because the Glenshane Pass was closed on Friday after the heavy snowfall. Django Unchained Review…

2012 in review – by WordPress
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. I will have to do some sort of end of year entry, even though it is a bit late. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,900 views in 2012. If every…

Asbestos – the wonder material of the future, yesterday!
“Gasp! The horror! Asbestos!” they cry, as the ordinary decent folk look on in disbelief. “Surely asbestos is the worst thing since satan?”. Well, actually things are not as clear cut as they seem here, and we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the fibres as another one of humanity’s terrible mistakes; of which there…
