I’ve been watching the Sopranos from start to finish since I got some boxed sets last Christmas. Lots to say about them, but I’ll keep it short for now.
Currently, I’m on season 4, and just watched this episode, “Watching Too Much Television”, where Tony and Ralphie devise a “HUD” scam (Housing and Urban Development). [...]
Via Sabrina on Twitter, Colour Inspiration Contest Winners. Some inspirational colour palettes for designers. Very nice.
I visited Forkd today after seeing some a review on TechCrunch UK (& Ireland). It is basically a social network for sharing recipes.

Justin Mason has just launched Irish Pulse. An aggregator for Irish Twitter users.
I think it is a nice tool. It lets me see what other Irish people are saying (beyond the 70 or so that I follow). It shows me replies that don’t show up in my feed, and I’m guessing that [...]
If you’re an Apple fanboy like me, you have waited all this time for the iPhone to arrive. Not a dirty hacked iPhone, but the real deal. It comes courtesy of O2, as expected. You check the price tag and see that they are not bumping up the price of the phone [...]
There Will Be Blood
““
A very unusual film, without the first word of dialogue spoken until 14 and a half minutes in. Not much of a plot, it is all about one thing: the character of Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) – an oil man who becomes consumed by his mean and greedy streak. “I have [...]
Noticed this thread of appreciation for Nick Cave on boards.ie, it was the first time I’ve seen his letter to MTV declining his nomination for the MTV Music Awards from years ago.
TO ALL THOSE AT MTV,
I WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME OVER RECENT YEARS AND [...]
