#“Celebrities read tweets about themselves” Some of my fave comedians and comic actors in there. Very smileworthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRBoPveyETc »

#“They’re just jealous cos my toes are models” Well I laughed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLyTvYSBSzA Hat-tip to the great peeps at barefoot.ie »

#“The ever improving XBMC just released v11.0” Its been over a year in the works and today we are excited to announce that XBMC 11.0 is finally ready and available for download. You can find XBMC 11.0 here. via XBMC 11.0 Eden | XBMC. XBMC’s ability to play every file we throw at it, perfectly, is a daily joy. It is riddled with lovely useful touches like a slider to adjust the audio offset when your DVD rip didn’t quite work perfectly. »

#“Mophie Juice Pack Air is perfect for Marathons” One of the niche problems with the iPhone 4 is full-length marathons. If you, like my wife, run 26 miles with music playing and Runkeeper recording all your stats, you will get to mile 25 and the battery will run out. Annoying to say the least. I have tried a few el-cheapo chinese add-on battery packs that plug into the bottom but they rarely last more than a few weeks before going kaput. »

#“Get your Torrent of the Mahon Tribunal Report” Yes there are perfectly legal uses of Bittorrent. Like when the site hosting the Mahon Tribunal Report melts down under the load and even the Irish Times struggles to serve it up. If you download it via bittorrent, please seed for a while after completion to assist others. The more who seed, the faster it is for everyone. Thanks. Torrent File »

#“My App Inventor post about our kids' school is now on the MIT site” You have no idea how proud I am of this. The lovely people in Google CS4HSand MIT have put my blogpost about our experiences with App Inventor in a rural Irish school up on the MIT site. Now to tell all the kids in 5th and 6th class. They’ll be chuffed.   »

#“Anyone want paddysvalley.org and .com?” I’ve been renewing those two domains since 2007 despite the fact that I never actually went on the trip. They come up for renewal on April 19th for $20 for the pair with GoDaddy. Nameservers and hosting are with Blacknight. I won’t be renewing. If you want them for free, let me know. I dunno how to transfer domains but I’m sure it’s not that hard. »

#“The End of Awesome” What have the following words got in common? Awesome Amazing Incredible Huge Mind-blowing Gigantic Phenomenal Shocking Horrific Horrendous Staggering We all use them every day to describe very mundane things (I nearly said "utterly mundane" there). So now that everything is amazeballs, nothing is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8I9pYCl9AQ I watched Top Gear last night and Jeremy interviewed Kimi Raikkonen. One of the more boring interviews I’ve seen. Kimi gave one-word answers to many questions. »

#“Monty Python: The Holy Book of Days - Just buy the damned thing, it’s wonderful” I’m not quite sure how to explain this. If you (like me) have all Three Volumes of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus, All the Words” then I think you may have to buy yourself an iPad just for this. It’s an interactive day-by-day guide to the creation of The Holy Grail. Which makes it sound like some Philips CD-i thing from 1988. »

#“The bin is all it’s good for now” »
