A short film of the ‘Speed Of Light’ performance created for the grand depart of the Tour de France 2014 from Yorkshire last May.
Featuring hundreds of cyclists decked out in LED suits with illuminated bikes, the rolling choreography was a collaboration between public art collective NVA and Phoenix Dance Theatre.

Le Cool Dublin Issue 251 cover by stylist Kieran Kilgannon and photographer Andrew Nuding featuring Avice Maughan from Morgan the Agency.
Kieran sez:
“The inspiration came from being a teenager and being so tired on your way to school that you could just sleep anywhere. So we took the beautiful Avice and shot her sleeping anywhere and everywhere.”
Andrew adds:
“We worked with Avice on a really sunny Sunday afternoon. We went to get my car washed so Avice could lie on the car. We also had her lying over a bin – but that didn’t make the cut.”
Fair enough
The Ashers said they would not bake,
A marriage equality cake,
And if their brave stand,
Breaks the law of the land,
That’s a risky decision to make.

George Boole.
The first web summiteer apparently.
Barry Roche, of The Irish Times, reports:
“Taoiseach Enda Kenny will today join with the president of University College Cork Dr Michael Murphy to launch next year’s celebration to mark the bicentenary of the birth of leading mathematician, George Boole.”
“Dr Murphy said it was timely to launch the programme of events for Boole’s Bicentenary in the week that the Web Summit takes place in Dublin as he paved the way for the advances in technology that ICT and STEM leaders are showcasing at the summit.”
“Among the events planned for the Bicentenary celebrations is a major restoration by UCC in conjunction with Cork City Council of Boole’s home at No 5 Grenville Place in Cork where he wrote his masterpiece “An Investigation of the Laws of Thought” in 1854.”

A 3D aerial laser display developed by a team of Japanese researchers that can display text and images in mid air.
A 1kHz infrared pulse fires directly into a 3D scanner which focuses and reflects the laser to specific points in 3D space, ionising air molecules which release energy in the form of photons.
Much as you’d expect.

Namche Bazar, Nepal. On the way to Everest. Irish pubs. They are EVERYWHERE.
Brings a whole new meaning to altitude sickness, in fairness.
FIGHT!
