Yet More Blogs

Sam is (FINALLY) back blogging with a new version of his old ‘Pull out the Pin’ blog. Sam and I disagree over, well quite a lot of things, but he’s definitely one of the more entertaining and probably the most easily talked to right-winger I know.

Greg Bowler (who I know through debating) is also running a ‘U.S Presidential Election Blog’ which is worth a look also…

Revolution Cycle…

… is an event being run by a friend of mine Fearghal O’Nuallain. Here’s how the website describes it:

This November, Simon Evans and Fearghal O’Nuallain will begin the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. Their unsupported expedition will cover over 30,000km, passing through 30 countries and some of the highest, lowest, driest, coldest, warmest and loneliest places on earth. In doing so, they will be promoting the positive contribution that cycling can make to mental health and the environment, raising €100,000 for Aware and highlighting climate change

To get a feel for what the guys will be doing here’s their flickr site and a sample of their videos:

So I’ve been neglecting a few things lately…

Just a couple of links that are pretty interesting. The first is a new Stephen King series ‘N’ which has been made into a combination animated comic/cartoon in association with Marvel Comics. Seems pretty good from what the first episode shows anyway.

Next is ‘wrestling mania‘ which is more for my own entertainment, a handy blog with most of the big American shows on video.

Finally up, is a blog by my mate Harry from TCD. Definitely one of the more interesting characters I’ve met debating, his blog hasn’t a whole lot on it yet, but is worth the look.

A Measured View..

… Is the one that John Power (one of the lads from school) seems to be taking these days. Didn’t realise that he was blogging until I bumped into him in a Borders book store in Boston. He has a lot of interesting commentary so take a look.

I can’t believe it’s even more blogs

Well Eugene who used to be here has moved his blog. He’s now on wordpress! Take a look

Yet Another UCC blogger

Emer here at Lee Side Story. An absolutely class lady, she’s been unfortunate enough this year to get stuck with me for our US foreign policy classes and seminar. Take a look-see anyway…

The Wild, The Innocent & The DSG Street Shuffle

Yet another UCC student from my politics class joins the blogsphere. Donal, one of the lads in my history and politics classes. Go take a look

Binststerhood

Well even more people I know joining the blogsphere – two of the girls from NUIG who routinely take the piss out of me for my ‘crazy’ beliefs. Take a look.

Does this count as spamming yourself?

Play.com and the Book Depository. Both of them are pretty good value websites and I got my first deliveries from them within five days of my order… Not bad like. Especailly as they both do free delivery. Also a plus is that with the book depository anyway, they’re customer service regarding damaged items is very very good. Have a look.

Fock the vote

I have a bit of a rant to make about the ‘RockTheVote’ campaign but I’ll do that later…. In the meantime,this video covers my feelings pretty well
