The Lonely Beast: FREE Codes

Admin at 9:22 am December 5, 2012

Chris Judge’s wonderful kid’s book The Lonely Beast won an Irish Book Award last year.

Chris, his brother Simon and their friend James Kelleher, all from Dublin, then created a flash card app based on the book, for iPad and iPhone and iPod (Touch).

It’s an interactive app which helps kids learn their ABCs and includes beasts, musical instruments, dancing robots, spinning bow ties and laughing monkeys.

The Lonely Beast boys have kindly offered Broadsheet readers the following free promo codes.

Digital Plug Radio

Plugg is a 3D printed prototype DAB radio made by Theo Tveterås and Lars Marcus Vedeler of Skrekkøgle, which is ‘investigating physical and metaphorical interaction with electronic device’.

That’s to say, there’s a volume toggle on the side and the plug is the on/off switch.

Bottler’s Paper Trail

Admin at 7:55 am December 5, 2012

Minister for Health James Reilly’s constituency office contacted his department eight times before the announcement of a Government stimulus package last July seeking updates on plans to develop a primary care centre in Balbriggan.

Dr Reilly has come under fire over the addition of locations in Balbriggan and Swords in his constituency to a list for primary care centres drawn up by the HSE and his then minister of state Róisín Shortall.

Documents released by the department yesterday include a handwritten note by a civil servant maintaining that a ministerial adviser was told about advanced plans to develop the Balbriggan centre by leasing rather than through a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement under the stimulus package. The note says the adviser consulted Dr Reilly and that Swords and Balbriggan were to remain on the PPP list.

Over to you, Eamon.
