- There are a couple of new blogs on the block which are worth keeping an eye on. MacKozer has set-up a new photoblog to cater for his non-Irish work. Don’t go rushing over there yet though - he needs time to upload stuff. In the meantime, you could have a look at his current photoblog. With these, and the work he does for Carlow.pl, Nenagh.pl, his band and more, this man has more sites on the go at any one time than John Sisk, SIAC and Ascon put together.
- And thanks to Mac, I have begun reading Lina Žigelytė’s new blog, Emigration etc. Lina is a Lithuanian journalist living in Dublin. Her blog is the subjective rantings from a journalist stuck in a wine shop. The frustration of not working in her own profession shows clearly. For me, it’s a crying shame - this lady can write. She gets this week’s spot in Mo Rogha.
- In other news, we had no rainfall for a full 10hour stretch yesterday. None. Unbelievable. It was the first day in 45 I didn’t take an umbrella with me. Number-junkies out there might like to check out the figures on the Met Éireann site. The average Irish rainfall for June is just over 50mm and just under for July. This year there were 130mm in June and 120mm so far in July. I like rain. Just not this much.
- The Eolaí lad has gone and set himself up on MySpace. I’m not sure that I want to get into the MySpace thing myself - look what happened when I decided to play with blogging technology for a couple of days - just to see how it worked. But it works for Eolaí. MySpace is perfect for music and art. Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh’s wonderful Rhythm of Her Toes is playing on there now and the dog is not impressed. He doesn’t take well to trad. Which is strange, him being from the west Cork Gaeltacht.
- Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Eolaí setting up reminded me of another MySpace site I check regularly - My neighbour, Heidi Talbot’s. Pop over there and have a listen. She has the voice of an angel and body that brings out the devil in me. Christ, her mother would have my guts for garters if she knew I said that, so no-one tell her. Heidi is based in the US but works globally so you can all get to see her live. Keep an eye on her tour dates.
