“I run a Dublin based start-up that teaches musicians DIY electronics (how to make guitar pedals, synthesizers, amps etc…). We have been running workshops around Ireland for the past year (teaching over 250 musicians) and have recently received investment from Enterprise Ireland to expand the workshops and build an online learning platform.”
“We are just about to start twice monthly workshops in Dublin as well as in Belfast, Galway and Cork. By learning how to make their own equipment, musicians can create a sound that is unique to them, better understand the music they are making, and save a fortune on retail equipment. As a start-up we are obviously looking to spread the word about our project, and we thought (hoped really), that it be something that would interest your readership.”

Yikes.
Often wonder if any of the presenters on 2fm, Today FM, RTE Radio 1 or Newstalk feel weird or embarassed that women are so underrepresented?

So radio stations, if you want to do something “different”, maybe represent your listeners properly. Put more women in front of the mic. — Una Mullally (@UnaMullally) July 15, 2013

“Dear Broadsheet,
“You may remember us from our ‘Reveal Ireland’ days. Thanks to your posts and feedback from your readers, we quickly realised that our site had to change – it had to offer something absolutely new and unique. So, we scrapped Reveal Ireland and built Reveal from the ground up. Reveal will allow users to travel anywhere around the world, upload images, overviews, reviews and more and actually earn points for their efforts.”
“These points can then be cashed in for unique rewards. The beta website will launch at this year’s Dublin Web Summit in October but we are taking sign-ups on our new landing page now http://signup.yourreveal.co. Once you sign up you will receive a unique code to share with your friends. The more people you refer, the more points you’ll earn, and once we go live you can cash them in for unique rewards.”

Great registration plate for a Mr. Whippy (Mister Softee), seen at Donabate, Co. Dublin.
That would be Mr Softee, of course.
There is only one Mr Whippy.
You may recall a previous post of The Epic and The Beasts – a lingering tribute to skateboarding, directed and edited by Sebastian Linda.
Well he’s back, with The Revenge Of The Beasts.

Thanks Sebastian Linda
