Happy New Year!

Well, the end of 2008 is upon us, and to everyone who’s read, pinged, trackbacked, commented, Alt-F4ed-in-disgust, thanks for reading and all the best for 2009.

Just to let you all know that I’m starting a personal blog elsewhere, back at gavreilly.com, where more substantial material will show its face on a hopefully more regular basis. I’m putting it elsewhere because the material’s going to be of a different dynamic than the stuff that goes here, and I think that people shouldn’t have to have content thrust upon them in an RSS inbox or whatever, without choosing to take it in the first place (plug plug plug! RSS feed here!).

Fear not, though; EDiED won’t go anywhere, and we’ll still have the random links, silly thoughts, baffling pictures and general domestic disgustingness that you’ve all come to know and love tolerate.

Merry New Year to all, and to all a good night!

Peace,
Gav

Apres Match

Just an observation:

If RTE didn’t put intermittent comedy bits into watching international soccer, people would have lost patience with the Republic of Ireland national team much quicker.

Thoughts, anyone?

Separated at birth…

John ‘ah-oooooooooooooooogaaaaaaaaaaaa’ Fashanu…

…and…

…Alexandra ‘Get thee to the next Cruise Ship’ Burke.

Anyone else? Or is it just me?

First World Problem #2…

in: FAIL

… just wanting a browse in a shop, but being harassed mid perusal.

CanIHelpYou?CanIHelpYou?CanIHelpYou?CanIHelpYou?CanIHelpYou?CanIHelpYou?

Enter stage left a man in western attire, asking me to try ‘Hombre’. Then you’ll ask a girl called Annabelle out and the bloody Hombre Man will get there first.

Sigh. I miss Friends.

Christmas Tradition #1

in: nostalgia

Buying the RTÉ Guide and a red pen and setting out the TV schedule for the next three weeks…

(only ever buy the Guide outside of Christmas for the Roses… needs to be done… )

‘One (wo)man’s Titanic is another (wo)man’s Love Boat?’

in: FAIL

Hehehe. Trying not to be too harsh here, the woman holidays in Donegal and shops in the Spar in the town. She’s basically one of us. And I’m the one who stumbled on this as I was searching for ‘You’re never fully dressed without a smile…’.

It got me thinking…

One of these just arrived at home…

in: geekiness

Yup, I’m a geek. That’s a Rubik’s Cube, but with seven pieces on each edge instead of three.

It has 19,500,551,183,731,307,835,329,126,754,019,748,794,904,992,692,043,434,
567,152,132,912,323,232,706,135,469,180,065,278,712,755,853,360,682,328,
551,719,137,311,299,993,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations.

Now, you might have guessed from the header image at the top of the blog that I was a bit of a Rubik’s geek, but nothing is going to prepare me for this thing.

I might do a Qik unboxing later on - keep an eye on my Twitter, http://twitter.com/gavreilly, or my Qik profile, http://qik.com/gavreilly, for a video if I make one. That’ll appear then later on my YouTube (http://ie.youtube.com/singingstranger).

EDIT: Here’s the Qik video I made:
