Just wanted to let you know about the launch of a new Marriage Equality campaign called “Do Me A Favour”. We’re asking anyone who believes in and supports marriage equality for LGBT people in Ireland to take 3 minutes of their time to watch our new video “Yes To Love” (*above) and join our campaign (below).
Artist, writer and space nut Ron Miller imagines what the night sky might look like were the moon to be replaced by various planets of the solar system.
Consider the rules of physics temporarily suspended, whereby all planets retain their current atmospheric conditions and don’t tear us asunder with their immense gravitational fields, etc.
Above (starring as ‘the moon’): the moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter.
What if we had a planet instead of a moon? (Ron Miller, io9)

Juice Jumpers.
Mouth-watering Irish-made gaming.
I was wondering if you’d be interested in the news that Little Bee Studios (Irish company based in Dublin) has released a new game on the App Store and it’s selling very well (up to 3rd in Irish Puzzle charts). The game is called Juice Jumpers and it’s available on iPhone and iPad. We have five free games to try out to the first five Broadsheeters to tap these codes into itunes. And please share your thoughts on the game. Thanks.

What you may need to know.
1. Here’s the first proper trailer for the new version of Stephen King’s classic – we’d go remakes of Cujo (1983), Firestarter (1994), It and The Stand.
2. The Brian De Palma version from 1976 remains untouchable. That much is a given.
3. Julianne Moore = evil ginger.
4. We’re kind of sick of trailers that show absolutely bloody everything.
5. Prognosis: Redundant, but fun (see also: forthcoming Evil Dead remake)
Release Date: October
And the decision (published today).
Drum roll.
A victory for common sense?
YOU decide.

Though we wish Happy Birthday to Twink,
Before pouring a nice party drink,
Of sparkling wine,
She should pay off her fine,
To keep herself out of the clink

Oh yes, it’s a Friday, car-less, zip-unfriendly, ‘it doesn’t need to rhyme with mickey/’ ‘rick off.
All Limericks by 1pm.
Judging by 2pm.
Standard ‘rick off rules apply.

We’ve featured a couple of timelapes made from images taken on the International Space Station before.
This one, created by Bruce W. Berry, is particularly glorious.
