Observe, Listen, Repeat. Digital life, real life; and how to live it. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Seriously, dare you call yourself ‘public servants’? If I have to listen to another so-called public servant bemoan their 7.5pc pension levy and financial challenges because of the latest Budget, let me remind them of a few things:. 8226; The majority of private sector people are not as well paid as their counterparts in the public sector who cost this country €20bn per annum. Grow up for God’s sake. I will mo...

Observe, Listen, Repeat. Digital life, real life; and how to live it. Saturday, October 18, 2008. The Government of Ireland. One of the neighbours’ kids was rabidly praising one of these parties and threatening to punch anyone who disagreed. It was the closest thing to realising what the Hitler Youth may have behaved like in the 1930s. I was disgusted. I think this week I was proven right. People should only vote on who they consider will be good at the job. The next time a General Election is ca...I can...

The rumour mills suggest that the government is planning to announce ubiquitious broadband as part of its National Broadband Strategy next week (3 July). I couldn't urge this more. A person at home with a computer and a broadband...

Observe, Listen, Repeat. Digital life, real life; and how to live it. Friday, July 17, 2009. Legendary newsman Walter Cronkite died tonight aged 92. His number one rule 'establish trust with your audience' is very true today in the midst of the internet age. TIME Magazine has a touching obit on the man. It only dawned on the hapless reporters that he had something entirely different when they discovered he wasn't on the plane. Beautiful. That's my memory of Walter.

Observe, Listen, Repeat. Digital life, real life; and how to live it. Saturday, February 21, 2009. This year over 1,000 orphans in Belarus received a visit from an Irish charity. As our car makes it progress through a seemingly endless forest in the countryside of Belarus, snow hangs off the trees and I can’t help but reflect how the idyllic scene has been played out on Christmas cards that decorated Irish fireplaces for as far back as I can remember. It was while covering a story for a Sunday paper 10 y...

Observe, Listen, Repeat. Digital life, real life; and how to live it. Monday, November 24, 2008. Stop and think for a minute. It is with growing discomfort that I'm hearing Bank of Ireland and Irish Life and Permanent have been approached by private equity firms interested in paying €5bn. I would urge the Irish Government not to allow this to happen. It would be Eircom all over again. Private investors will sweat the assets while the country gets a bum deal. Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Its a new dawn.
