“Well-regarded current affairs blog… Reams of intelligent debate and a focus on international events.” — The Irish Independent

Bio:

I started blogging back in 2002 because it allowed me to get my opinions, thoughts and views to an audience without much expense.

I have worked at many things, including the whole writing jazz, and have been published in such titles as the Irish Examiner and the New Statesman. I drink Murphy’s, Beamish or Bulmers, depending on the weather. I studied politics and history in UCC, and graduated in 2008.

Following a few years blogging I started working as a sub-editor for the Irish Examiner. I also spend way too much time tinkering with new media technologies that some day all print journalists will have to learn. Like Flip Minos, DSLRs, eeePCs, social bookmarking, blogging, micro-blogging and qiking.

This is my collection of books. (I will read them all some day)

I am known in the blogosphere for:
An initial distrust of Google
Being threatened with legal action by author John Gray.
Appearing on Irish television to talk about blogging
A Chronology of Bertie Ahern’s resignation
Visiting Georgia after the war
Getting to Grant Park, Chicago on Election Night 2008
Getting to Washington DC on Inauguration Day 2009

I also founded the Mahon Tribunal wiki, and Public Inquiry. I also write on Irish Election.
