the quite-excellent Steve McCarthy got his colouring pencils out for this illustrated guide to Dublin’s nerds, and where to find them. We published it ahead of the Dublin Web Summit so that any visitors know where to go and bully dweebs with their spare time.
Playing somewhat fast and loose with the accepted geek/nerd designations there, guise.

Beatyard: EgLo Records Live Band feat. Fatima & Alexander Nut @ The Bernard Shaw , South Richmond Street, Dublin (Free, 4pm)

There’s an absolutely insane amount of gigs this week with the Bank Holiday weekend taken into account so this week’s gig is a freebie.
Taking to the stage at 7pm on Saturday in the Shaw as part of The Beatyard, the live band of Alexander Nut’s UK label Eglo Records will be joined by the soulful singer Fatima (above) for some smooth R&B vibes. Here they are on the Boiler Room.
WISH: a public art project for the Belfast Festival at the Titanic Quarter by Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada.
After several years of planning, the portrait of an anonymous Belfast girl was plotted on a grid using GPS, set out with 30,000 hand placed stakes and created over four weeks with over 3600 tonnes of soil, sand and rock.
Viewable in full only from the air, the piece – which will remain in place for the rest of the year – has already been nicknamed ‘The Face from Space’.
Hidden camera show The Fear returns next Monday to catch out more victims unsuspecting members of the public.
In this scene of escalating drama, Jennifer Maguire arrives to install a non government-approved water meter in a house in Crumlin.
Contains NSFW language.
FIGHT, etc.
Watch on RTE2, Monday 28th October at 10pm.
Thanks Ashling
Further to GAA pundit Joe Brolly’s comments that it is “no one else’s business” what GAA clubs call themselves.
The context was the naming of the GAA club in Dungiven, Co Derry after Kevin Lynch, INLA hunger striker. Lynch was a native of the area and played hurling, as well as scouting for bombs, and, said Brolly, “we’re very proud of him”.
This about an INLA hunger striker who was jailed for knee-capping people, and whose organisation – which regarded itself as more hard-core than the IRA – was responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent people. Among the awful crimes of the INLA was the bombing of a disco in Ballykelly, in Brolly’s own native Derry, which killed 11 off-duty soldiers and six civilians, and the ambush of a Christian service in Darkley, Co Armagh which killed three worshippers.

A foul-mouthed, hand-drawn, multi award-winning satirical animation by Jeanette Bonds, who explains that it was…
…adapted from a conversation overheard in a Santa Monica restaurant in 2011. Four lawyers engage in a bantering dinner conversation that quickly devolves into a grotesque and brutal comedy of cruelty and hypocrisy. This film is not for the faint-hearted.
The animator explains all here.
