Yearly Archives: 2014

What you may need to know:

1. Sequel to 2012 Nazis-on-the-Moon sub Sci-Fi Channel hogwash.

2. The message seems pretty clear: A vote for Palin is a vote for hollow earth-abiding, dinosaur-riding Hitlers everywhere.

3. This should annoy the hell out of all those Brian Cox wannabes still giving out about the “science” of Interstellar (2014).

4. Iron Sky: The Coming Race is being crowdsourced.

5. Between this and Hardcore, you can probably tell that there’s not much around at the moment.

6. Broadsheet Prognosis: I have a Nazi feeling about this.

Release Date: TBC.

Leaving an institution to join a start-up?

Fair play though, in fairness.

Devised in Tokyo by Klein Dytham Architecture, PechaKucha (the Japanese phrase for “the sound of chitchat”) started as a night for creative people to meet, network, and discuss their projects. The catch: each person gave a presentation containing only 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds, for a total presentation length of six minutes 40 seconds. These constraints challenged presenters to clarify their ideas and match each thought with the perfect image. Since then, PechaKucha Nights are held by a global community of over 700 cities and the presentations have become just as diverse.

PechaKucha Night Galway will return tonight for our 8th and largest instalment to date. this FREE event will feature 10 presentations exploring subjects matters that will include, travel, photography, health, architecture, art, personal journeys and much more.

Kicking off at 9 tonight upstairs at Kelly’s, Bridge Street, Galway.

We have two great stocking fillers this year which are both raising funds for the Student Union charities: Console and BeLonG To. We have a 2015 Calendar or a set of 12 Postcards both featuring winning entries from the highly successful Capture Your Campus photo competition which was held at NUI Galway. They are a fiver each and all the money goes to charity as Standard Printers were really sound and printed them all for free for us! Both items can be purchased from the SU Shop or office and they can also be ordered online here:.

Yesterday, Socialist Party TD Ruth Coppinger made reference to high-profile members of Sinn Féin bullying Maíria Cahill on social media.

One particular twitter account (@capnblack) belongs to Alan Donnelly (aka Alan Ó Donnaille), brother of Sinn Féin councillor Paul Donnelly, who ran in the Dublin West by-election earlier this year.

Meanwhile…

On last night’s ‘Tonight with Vincent Browne’, Sinn Féin TD for Meath West Peadar Tóibín denied Sinn Féin members were involved in online bullying of Maíria Cahill.
