Starbucks everywhere
My friend is back from Bali, and he caught some of the local fauna taking a coffee break. And it's Starbucks! Has anyone noticed that they are springing up everywhere in Dublin? Another to be opening soon on Dawson Street!

Disney Rejection Letter, 1938
Time has really changed. No girls admitted as animators in Disney back in 1938.

Beer-pouring robot V2
Ok, a robot to pour you a beer with a perfect head each time, the idea is cool, but after watching the vid, it takes so frickin' long to pour the beer! I don't think this will work unless they make the robot faster. After all, practice makes perfect for those who don't have a beer-pouring robot. Heehee.
Just see for yourself!

Garda + phone + Youtube
It really looks like a hoax. Given all the hoo-haa from yesterday, I saw it initially in the papers first. So I decided to check out the vid, and I have put it up here for folks to check out. It just looks like a hoax.
But it seems to be something as The Gardaí and The Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission are looking into this incident. According to the Indo this morning, the Garda is not going to be suspended.

Another reason for cd sales slump
Apart from crap music and extortional prices, it may seem that the distorted, loud music makes people feel naucious.
...record companies are using digital technology to turn the volume on CDs up to "11".
"The quieter parts are becoming louder and the loudest parts are just a buzz."
What about the commuters on buses and trains that have their music turned up to the max, that even people on the other end of the transportation can hear what they are listening to? It really hurts my ears, never mind the person who is listening to really loud music. What really gets me is, how on earth can you listen to heavy metal first thing in the morning? Sometimes it gives me a headache when I get off the bus or LUAS.
