He believes some comments on Boards.ie and Politics.ie are “legalised subversion of the state”.
As opposed to a late-night secretive deal done in September 2008 which condemns generations to etc, etc.
On Friday, reader ‘Simon’ sent us news, which we posted, of a new pair of Nike runners called Black & Tan (above). The Irish Times picked up the story and an Old media/New Media viral thing happened (culminating in this madness). There was no credit for ‘Simon’ or us.
Which happened to be entirely cool as this is the interwebs.
We mention this as we have just got an email from the ‘editor’s office’ of the Irish Times asking us to remove an Irish Times photo (of the journalist Alison O’Riordan in front of a half-empty Tiger-era Dublin apartment block) we used a a number of times without permission in 2010.
But the chap also asked us (quite sternly) to remove about a dozen of the amusing variations of the photo, known to you and us as ‘memes’.
Memes such as these. And this. Much like the ones the Irish Times was heralding as satirical gold a few short months ago.
Swoosh.
Just do IT.

Rehn Rules Out Irish Delay In €3.1bn Bank Debt Repayment (Arthur Beesley, Irish Times)
Prismatica – a mesmeric kaleidoscopic artwork (generated by the movement of the viewer and the ambient light) by Australian artist Kit Webster, who sez:
Prismatica consists of an arrangement of pyramid-shaped crystals affixed to an LCD screen and illuminated with programmed geometric animation. The animated patterns are precisely mapped to the vertices of the crystals, illuminating them individually and in formation. The animations are further refracted through the geometry of the crystals in accordance with the shifting perspective of the observer, which in turn alters the way the illuminations appear and interact with reflections of surrounding lights within the space.
