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.
Librivox
Librivox is an volunteer organisation devoted to putting up various public domain books in audio form. While I know that audio recordings aren’t for everyone, its still quite useful for the like of me who travel a bit and yet can’t always read while doing so. Currently I’m downloading their H.P. Lovecraft collection. Obviously,given that these are recorded by ‘the man on the street’, some of the audio recordings could be of a slightly better quality, but the vast majority of them are pretty cool so take a look…
Bill Moyers address the National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis, June 7, 2008
Interesting video, and while there’s nothing in it that many haven’t heard before (Jonathan Hickman’s ‘The Nightly News’ comes to mind as a source of such discussions) it is still interesting to see such a big name talking about such things:
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.
The Flintstones?
I’m going to try write a post on my experience of the U.S and finishing college the next day or two. In the meantime, back to video-blogging:
going home
To try and express how disappointed I am is difficult. Yet the fact that having made the decision to go that I feel a lot happier says a lot. Frankly this week and a day that I was in Boston has been the worst of my life. Or at least feels like it now. What’s been most dissappointing has been the fact that several groups of people, some of whom I really would not have expected it of, have abandoned me when I really needed help. One of them, getting a call from me that I could not have sounded good during, responded with ‘I really need my sleep’ … Others, in their attitude have given me the response of ‘hope that homeless thing goes well for you’… While some people have suggested travelling, to be honest, I really am just so sick and tired after this week that I don’t think I could even enjoy it. I hope, that by going tomorrow, I can use the money I have to come back some other time…
