Irish Blogs

USB Pen Drives Eat Files. My favorite Mac bigot, er, evangelist, Scott Waters goes on one of his patented rants about those USB pen drives, memory sticks or whatever you want to call them, and how Mac users can minimize possible problems. Our campus' academic computing specialist recently advised our faculty and staff on their use as well. I don't use one myself, opting to use my iDisk or my own OS X server, but I have witnessed the death of our camera's flash card, along with the pics that it contained.

Baby Name Wizard. This is one of the coolest front ends to a database I've ever seen. I can think of some cool applications for our Hawaiian digital library project, Ulukau.

Inventor preserves self to witness immortality. I remember Ray Kurzweil for his work on a machine that could read any text to the blind and for the musical instrument manufacturer that bears his name. He thinks that human immortality via technology will be a reality within 20 years, and is doing his best to assure that he lives long to see it.

Irish language has been loser in North-South clash. There is some interesting conversation on Slugger regarding the state of the Irish language, and some suggest that it would benefit from a pairing with programs championing Ulster-Scots, another minority language of the country. It seems that advocates of the two language often find themselves in competition with each other as opposed to being support of each other in the face of English language homogeny.
