  • Observations in London

    London hasn’t really changed much. I sensed little fear or anxiety when riding the tube. There was a more visible police presence yesterday, probably because it was the anniversary of the bombings. I think with time people have accepted what happened and are getting on with things. The biggest difference I have noticed in the…

  • To New York

    I have visited New York on two previous occassions. The first was right after September 11, I flew to JFK on September 28 2001, and had a look around the city the following day. This included a trip to the top of the Empire State on the day it reopened after the attacks, and then…

  • O'Reilly on blogs/newspapers

    I never got round to posting on the article in the Sunday Times that generated some comment in the Irish blogosphere. The money quote: In an interview with The Sunday Times, the newspaper publisher dismissed the notion that the print industry was a “sunset industryâ€?. “It is a sunrise industry,â€? said O’Reilly. “Newspapers are tactile,…

  • MP3 recorder

    Like me, Jeff is debating on what MP3 recorder to get to try out some audio blogging. I didn’t know Adam Curry was using the iRiver 799. Hmm. What to do.
