Power your guitar pedals, amps, synths, and whatnot where you charge your phone.
From MyVolts, the ‘most interesting small device power supply company to come out of Dublin in years’.
Luke Brennan, of MyVolts, writes:
We have just gone live with a kickstarter campaign to launch our new product, ‘Ripcord’.
We think it’s a great alternative to plugging things into the wall.
The journey in getting this product to market included working with half a dozen young Irish designers, development sessions in Cloughjordan ecovillage, expert reviews in Berlin, along with visits to manufacturers in China.
We’d love if you could ask your readers to have a look at our Kickstarter preview page [link below] and leave any comments they might have…
There you go now.

Following student protests on Govt diversion of €12,000,000 from 2016 mental health budget, 200 UCD Medicine students have made the following video to lobby for increased funding Ireland’s mental health services.
UCD students have raised over €100,000 for registered charity Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland so far this year. It took them 6 months to raise the money and there is a lot of anger on campus over how few TDs it takes to debate funding cuts of €12,000,000.
Ireland has one of the highest rates of youth suicide in Europe but depends largely on charities for a response rather than government policy. It is a disgraceful situation that the good work of UCD students to support one of these charities, Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland, is being completely undermined by huge Govt funding cuts.
An article by Paul Wilson in yesterday’s Guardian with the headline, ‘Jürgen Klopp’s prediction comes to pass as Liverpool vanquish Villarreal’
The same article in yesterday’s Irish Times with the headline, ‘Jurgen Klopp, players and fans make it happen at Anfield’, and attributed to the Guardian Service

Why would I pay for an Irish Times service when I can read the same article for free with the Guardian online service?
It was the same last week with the Tiger Woods article, same story but different headline.
This is really annoying when I’m sitting in work bored, looking for something to read to kill the monotony of being a slave to a corporate conglomerate…
Anyone?
No.
FIGHT!
