A recent candy-coloured makeover of Google’s 3000 square meter offices in Amsterdam by Dutch design studio D/DOCK: cardboard lights, repurposed and recycled furniture, quirky ‘huddles’ and meeting rooms (including a caravan), Dutch themed gingerbread walls and stroopwafel ceilings – all inspired by the Menlo Park garage where Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company in 1998.
Way to suck up to the management guise.

Wake up sleepy, the sun is up! Ah, it seems that the sun is not the only thing that is up. Look down, what did you see? Yes, it is your antenna that is still broadcasting the late night show. This phenomenon is also known as “Morning Wood”. Not only that but also your bladder is about to explode, it’s time for a “wee wee”.

[Independent and former Labour TD Patrick Nulty last June]
“I am today resigning as TD for Dublin West and will take all the steps necessary to do that immediately this week. I sent inappropriate messages via Facebook. This included inadvertently sending one to a 17-year-old woman. To the best of my knowledge I have never met this woman and the message was sent while under the influence of alcohol.”
“I apologise wholeheartedly to the woman involved and to her family. It was never my intention to upset anyone in this way but it was totally wrong. The message was entirely inappropriate and I take full responsibility for my actions. For this reason I have decided to resign my seat in the Dáil. I set myself the highest standards personally and politically. Unfortunately due to personal mistakes I have not met those standards in this matter and I will take responsibility for that. I still believe passionately that Ireland can be a fairer and more just society based on equality and social justice but at the present time I believe to resign is the correct and right course of action.”
“I would like to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude to all my family, friends and supporters who have given me so much support over the last five years as a public representative. In politics people very often do not take responsibility for their actions. I hope I am doing that. I would further like to apologise to my constituents in Dublin West for my mistake. I hope they will understand my reasons for resigning and accept my apology. I hope that as I have taken decisive and direct action on this matter my privacy will now be respected in what has been a very difficult decision for me personally.”

The ‘Is The GAA The Illuminati?’ file just grew a little bit.

I came across a South African GAA team training in University College Dublin today. They’re the SA Gaels from Pretoria and they’re here on tour. I believe they’re playing Ballyboden St. Enda’s in a challenge game on Tuesday night. Could be the beginning of a GAA World Series perhaps?
Anyone?

Slowed down slightly, the great man just so happens to look, sound and behave as if utterly baked.
Brilliant. But baked.
