A decently-accented promo kicking off a Love/Hate mini animated series for Tower Records’s new store in Dawson Street, Dublin.
Made by Igloo animations, home of the much-cherished The Horse’s Mouth.

A solid hour of fireside purring, snorting, squonking and other slightly alarming adorbz with Lil BUB – the internet celebrity dwarf perma-kitten with the spectacular overbite.
Long exposure zoom-outs, baby.
Long exposure zoom-outs.
Bored Panda offers the following instructions:
1. Use a tripod, or stabilize your camera on a flat surface.
2. Set your ISO setting as low as it will go.
3. Set your aperture to F10/F11.
4. Set your exposure time to 2 or more seconds. Then, when you snap the long-exposure photograph, zoom your lens all the way in our out to stretch out the lights you see.
Works on illuminated keyboards too…
Very muchly.
We will be posting throughout the ‘holiday’ period but will return proper on Thursday January 2.
Less frequent but NOT idle.
Karl is having a “look under the bonnet” during Xmas and may introduce some improvements to Broadsheet’s design and useability in the new year.
If you have any suggestions for the site or the apps in 2014 please leave them below.
Karl has kindly promised to address every query in a non passive-aggressive manner.
Thank you to everyone who visited and commented regularly in 2013.

[Rupert Murdoch and Smithers, top and, above Storyful founder Ned Flanders Mark ‘Moneybags’ Little]
News Corp has just announced that it is acquiring Storyful, a Ireland-based “village square” for social media news, aggregating stories found on social media networks like Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, and verifying the sources in the process.
The price is €18 million ($25 million). News Corp. says that it will continue as a standalone company post-acquisition.
Jaysus.
“Above all, Storyful will honour its partnership with the awe-inspiring community of reporters, thinkers, activists, pioneers and entrepreneurs making journalism fit for purpose in the social age. Today is a good day for that movement. Social journalism is no longer a problem for the news industry … it is a solution.”
Mark Little, today.
Murdoch and social journalism? Hahahahahaha
JAMMY BASTARD!!
Will he leave RTE now?
This time next year, Rodney
Fair play though, in fairness.
